UNSPSC 50543460: Frozen non GMO napoleon grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO napoleon 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 50543460 Frozen non-GMO napoleon grapes is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited by state and local governments under this category. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are school district and municipal food service procurements for broad-based grocery items, fresh produce, and school nutrition program supplies—not specialized frozen grape products. The Commodity code's narrow product specification diverges sharply from the multi-hundred-line-item grocery and fresh-produce contracts that dominate recent activity, suggesting either systematic miscoding in source systems or that the code has acquired a much wider interpretive scope in practice than its name suggests. The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System) and one municipal food service program (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases), all procuring to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program nutrition operations. No standalone frozen napoleon grape solicitations appear in the recent-opportunities block.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and peripheral states (Missouri, Connecticut). Representative recent solicitations include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts under a GEC buying cooperative (approximately $4.4 million Area One, $1.1 million Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, the City of Bridgeport IFB for grocery items covering 1,100+ line items supporting the Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services with bids due June 30, 2026, and Rockwood R-VI School District's procurement for 900+ line-item grocery items (electronic bids due April 29, 2026). All require firm pricing throughout the contract period, Buy American compliance with domestic agricultural content documentation, HACCP food safety plans, and delivery Monday through Friday to central warehouses or multiple school sites. The code shows substantial recent activity but little evidence of narrow frozen grape specialization within it.
