UNSPSC 50543461: Frozen non GMO negria grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO negria 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 50543461 Frozen non GMO negria grapes (Commodity) describes a specific fresh or processed fruit product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect grape purchasing. The recent opportunities posted show school districts, county governments, and state agencies soliciting food service contracts across broad categories — shelf-stable items, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and kitchen supplies — but none of the itemized line items or scope documents explicitly name frozen negria grapes or frozen grapes as a line item being purchased. Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items spans peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables with delivery by December 7, 2026; Hancock County Schools' June 2026 fresh produce bid encompasses over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, and leafy greens for the 2026–27 school year; and the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery bid for the Board of Education includes over 1,100 line items across breakfast cereals, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat products with National School Lunch Program compliance. Early County Schools and the State of Georgia posted parallel food service bids in May and June 2026.

The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Bridgeport Board of Education) and county or state agencies (Gwinnett County, State of Georgia), clustered in Georgia and Connecticut. Geographic activity centers on Georgia, which accounts for four of five recent opportunities, with one Connecticut posting. Because the code's nominal scope — frozen non-GMO negria grapes — does not align with what is actually being bought, this code shows little relevant recent procurement activity and warrants close attention if a vendor holds inventory or supply relationships specific to frozen grape products. Standard school nutrition procurement requirements in these bids include Buy American provisions (51% domestic content for processed products), HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, and product samples subject to blind testing.
