UNSPSC 50543464: Frozen non GMO niagara grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO niagara 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 50543464 Frozen non-GMO Niagara grapes (Commodity) sees minimal direct procurement activity in recent state and local solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific frozen produce item, but the recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly targeting frozen Niagara grapes or close variants. School nutrition programs and other state and local food service purchasers in the recent records are soliciting frozen foods and fresh produce as broad commodity categories spanning hundreds of line items—apples, berries, vegetables, dairy, meats, condiments, and prepared items—rather than discrete commodity SKUs such as this varietal. When frozen fruit appears in the sourced opportunities, it is bundled within larger frozen-foods or grocery-items RFPs that do not itemize or isolate frozen grapes by cultivar.

State and local procurement under related frozen and fresh produce codes is concentrated in school districts and municipal school boards across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri, driven by National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program funding and Buy American requirements. Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery-items RFP (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), spanning 1,100+ line items with frozen products included; Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); and the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery-items bid (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026), which encompassed over 900 line items. The Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution (26-003, due February 18, 2026) estimated annual expenditure at approximately nine million dollars across 32 schools. This code shows little relevant recent activity; vendors pursuing frozen-produce supply contracts should target the broader frozen-foods and grocery-items solicitations where line-item detail and volume justify competitive bidding.
