UNSPSC 50543440: Frozen non GMO flaming red grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO flaming red 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 50543440 Frozen non GMO flaming red grapes is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single specialty produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code show little activity aligned to that narrow scope. The most-recent-opportunities block contains five school nutrition and county food-services solicitations posted between May and October 2026, spanning hundreds of line items across shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, dairy, meats, bread, and cleaning supplies. None of the summaries explicitly reference frozen grapes, flaming red or otherwise. The code appears to have been assigned to broad food-procurement opportunities in which the specific commodity may be one line item among many, or may not be present at all. The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education) and county or state food services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, State of Georgia), all procuring under the National School Lunch Program and related child-nutrition mandates. These jurisdictions solicit food contracts annually or seasonally to support centralized distribution to multiple school sites and community-services facilities.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce (June 26, 2026 due date) spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, root vegetables, and specialty fruits delivered to three school locations; Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid (June 8, 2026 due) for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies across three schools. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 for senior services delivery. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) posted an electronic bid for over 1,100 grocery-line items (June 30, 2026 due) subject to Buy American provisions, whole-grain requirements, and nutritional-standard compliance. The State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and kitchen products (June 22, 2026 due) with detailed scope in an attached document. Procurement under this code reflects school-nutrition and government food-services purchasing rather than specialty frozen-grape sourcing, and the code's assignment appears inconsistent with its narrow commodity definition.
