UNSPSC 50543421: Frozen non GMO chasselas/golden chasselas grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO chasselas/golden chasselas grapes that have been frozen for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50543421 Frozen non-GMO Chasselas/Golden Chasselas grapes, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within fresh and frozen produce procurement, though state and local governments rarely solicit this specific grape variety in isolation. Recent opportunities posted under this code show no documented demand for frozen Chasselas grapes; instead, the code appears to be a mismatch with actual procurement activity, which focuses on broad fresh produce categories, shelf-stable grocery items, and meal-service supplies for school nutrition and senior services programs. State and local issuing bodies sourcing produce—including county boards of education, city school systems, county departments of community services, and state procurement offices—typically issue RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for mixed fresh produce assortments (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, melons, leafy greens, and specialty fruits) rather than frozen single-variety grapes. The solicitations show that state and local food procurement emphasizes bulk quantities delivered to central warehouses and individual school sites, compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable), adherence to USDA nutrition standards and whole-grain requirements, and firm pricing that includes packing and transportation with no separate fuel surcharges.

Recent opportunities appear concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut school systems and county services departments. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB on June 10, 2026 (due June 26) requesting bids for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year, with delivery to three school locations. Early County Board of Education issued a separate line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8) covering approximately 300 food items plus non-food supplies for school meal programs. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes on October 13, 2026 (due October 19) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, with delivery to the Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education on June 30, 2026 (due same day) through its OpenGov e-Procurement Portal, covering over 1,100 line items subject to Buy American and National School Lunch Program compliance. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 (due June 22). The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to frozen Chasselas grapes and does not align with the scope of state and local food procurement today.
