UNSPSC 50543468: Frozen non GMO prima black seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO prima black seedless 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 50543468 Frozen non-GMO prima black seedless grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with measurable current state and local procurement activity. The code's narrow product specification appears orthogonal to the broader fresh and frozen produce categories that school districts and municipalities are actively soliciting. Recent opportunities tagged under related codes focus on comprehensive fresh produce line items, frozen grocery assortments, and protein staples for school nutrition programs—categories that span dozens of produce varieties, processed items, and complementary foods rather than individual grape SKUs. The available source records show no state or local solicitations explicitly calling out frozen non-GMO prima black seedless grapes as a distinct line item or primary procurement focus.

School districts and related public food-service buyers across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri dominate the fresh and frozen produce procurement landscape evident in recent postings, with the Douglas County School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, and the City Schools of Decatur in Georgia appearing as repeat buyers of comprehensive seasonal produce and grocery portfolios. These are typically issued as Invitations for Bid (IFB) or Requests for Proposal (RFP) spanning 60 to 200+ line items with annual contract terms running July through June, responding dates in late spring, and requirements for HACCP plans, liability insurance, E-Verify compliance, and USDA Buy American provisions. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary activity in Missouri and Connecticut, though the source does not support evidence that frozen non-GMO prima black seedless grapes appear as a material or recurring line item in any of these solicitations. Vendors pursuing this specific commodity should validate directly with individual school districts whether the item appears on their approved product lists or bid sheets before investing in pursuit.
