UNSPSC 50543426: Frozen non GMO dauphine grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO dauphine 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 50543426 Frozen non-GMO Dauphine grapes (Commodity) shows limited direct relevance to recent state and local procurement activity; the code's narrow product scope does not align with actual solicitation patterns under this tag. State and local governments buying food for school nutrition programs, the primary issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block, are soliciting broad-based grocery and produce contracts that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items—frozen items, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and non-food supplies—rather than single specialty produce items. The single frozen grape variety does not appear as a line item in any of the recent solicitations. When state and local procurement offices tag opportunities with this code, they are typically sourcing comprehensive frozen-food and grocery packages for school districts' nutrition programs, not frozen Dauphine grapes specifically.

School districts and boards of education across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri dominate the issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block, including the Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (serving the Bridgeport Board of Education), City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System. Recent solicitations span Georgia (six of nine opportunities), Missouri (one), and Connecticut (one), with representative IFBs and RFPs including the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery-items bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) covering over 1,100 line items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, and Hancock County's fresh-produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) spanning 200+ line items. The Douglas County School System's January 2026 RFP for food supply and distribution services (PE64810NONST2026000000046) represents the largest in scope, covering approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of $9,000,000. Code activity is concentrated in school-nutrition procurement, not specialty produce wholesale.
