UNSPSC 50543457: Frozen non GMO muscat flame grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO muscat flame 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 50543457 Frozen non-GMO muscat flame grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with the actual procurement activity currently posted under this code in state and local markets. The recent opportunities tagged with this code solicited broad food-procurement contracts spanning shelf-stable items, fresh produce, dairy, and non-food supplies for school nutrition programs, senior services, and municipal food distribution — not specialty frozen grapes. The mismatch suggests tagging inconsistency rather than active demand for frozen muscat flame grapes specifically in the state and local procurement pipeline.

Recent solicitations under this code have come from Georgia school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), the State of Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (a senior services department), and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education). Opportunities in Georgia appear most frequently in the recent posting block. Representative active bids include Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), Hancock County's sealed IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, and specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's electronic bid for over 1,100 line items of grocery items including breakfast, frozen products, and produce for the National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026), and Early County's line-by-line food bid covering approximately 300 food items plus non-food supplies (due June 8, 2026). A State of Georgia bid for food, supplies, and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026) suggests broader activity, though detailed scope information was not posted separately. The code's recent activity does not reflect procurement specific to frozen non-GMO muscat flame grapes and warrants reclassification or verification against the actual commodities being solicited.
