UNSPSC 50543449: Frozen non GMO kyoho grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO kyoho 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 50543449 Frozen Non-GMO Kyoho Grapes, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of frozen specialty produce items, though the recent opportunities show little direct demand for this specific product line. Recent school nutrition solicitations across the country focus on comprehensive frozen and fresh produce procurement spanning dozens to hundreds of line items — apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, melons, and leafy greens — rather than single specialty fruit varieties. The Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 grocery-items IFB (BNB052266) spans over 1,100 line items including frozen products, and the Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 fresh-produce IFB encompasses over 200 line items of produce varieties, yet neither explicitly names frozen Kyoho grapes. Issuing bodies procuring under this commodity are primarily school districts and boards of education, along with occasional city and county purchasing departments acting on behalf of school nutrition programs, all seeking to meet National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements under USDA Buy American provisions (51% domestic agricultural content) and nutrition standards including the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act.

Activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Connecticut, with recent high-dollar solicitations from the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia, RFP Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), the Douglas County School System (Georgia, RFP SN 26-004, estimated $5.5 million annually across 30 districts, due March 4, 2026), the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia, IFB, due May 15, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut, IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), with additional activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District, April 29, 2026 deadline) and Georgia (Early County Board of Education, due June 8, 2026). The code shows no recent opportunities explicitly requesting frozen Kyoho grapes as a line item. Vendors pursuing this commodity should note that state and local procurement typically bundles specialty frozen produce into broader fresh-and-frozen produce contracts with established primary vendors, and single-SKU specialty fruit products may see limited independent solicitation outside large regional distributors' master agreements.
