UNSPSC 50543445: Frozen non GMO italia grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO italia 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 50543445 Frozen non-GMO Italia grapes, a Commodity code, covers specialty frozen fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and senior services departments. The recent opportunities solicited under this code, however, show minimal direct activity for this specific commodity; instead, issuing bodies are buying frozen fruit as part of broader food-service categories. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited shelf-stable and frozen food items for senior services, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education bid over 1,100 line items including frozen products to support the National School Lunch Program, and the Early County Board of Education requested approximately 300 food items encompassing meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, and fruits. These opportunities reflect state and local procurement of food service through school districts, county social-services departments, and education food-service operations. Issuing bodies posting under or near this code are county boards of education, city education departments, county social-services agencies, and state purchasing offices.

Georgia dominates the recent activity, with Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia all posting food-procurement opportunities between May and October 2026. Connecticut and other states appear once or twice in the dataset. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of food items due October 19, 2026, the City of Bridgeport's bid for grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program with a June 30, 2026 deadline, and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026. All three school-district opportunities specified Buy American provisions requiring a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content, compliance with USDA nutrition standards, and delivery to school central warehouses or multiple sites. None of the recent posted opportunities explicitly named frozen Italia grapes; the code shows minimal specialized-commodity procurement activity in the current posting cycle.
