UNSPSC 50543427: Frozen non GMO delaware grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO delaware 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 50543427 Frozen non-GMO Delaware grapes is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement practice maps to school district food service supply chains, not to frozen grapes specifically. Recent solicitations tagged with this code show little alignment with its nominal scope; instead, the opportunities involve comprehensive grocery and produce procurement for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations across multiple school districts and a state agency. State and local governments buying under this code in practice source frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and a full range of food-service commodities to feed students daily at scale. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—alongside one state agency (State of Georgia). These jurisdictions repeat as buyers, indicating sustained annual procurement cycles tied to school-year food-service contracts running July through June.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and the Southeast. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' grocery-items IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items with Buy American requirements and LINQ ordering-system integration; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) for 200-plus produce line items across three delivery sites; the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) covering 30 participating districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend; and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery-items solicitation (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items and serving approximately 7,800 daily meal participants. All require firm fixed pricing inclusive of packing and delivery, HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, E-Verify authorization, $1 million minimum general liability insurance, and compliance with USDA child nutrition regulations.
