UNSPSC 50543473: Frozen non GMO red malaga grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO red malaga 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 50543473 Frozen non-GMO red Malaga grapes is a Commodity code that maps to state and local food procurement for school nutrition programs, though the recent opportunities in the source show little activity specifically for frozen Malaga grapes by name. Instead, state and local governments soliciting under or near this code are buying broad categories of fresh produce, frozen foods, and grocery items to support National School Lunch Program compliance and child nutrition services across school districts. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education, ranging from small rural districts to urban consolidated systems. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, for example, solicited over 900 grocery line items; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) in Georgia sought 72 fresh produce items including apples, bananas, and specialty fruits; and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases procured grocery items spanning breakfast cereals, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, and dairy for the Board of Education. These procurements typically include Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP compliance, whole-grain requirements, low-sodium and no-added-sugar formulations, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges across contract periods running July 1 through June 30 annually.

The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Missouri, with additional recent activity in Connecticut. Georgia school districts—Douglas County Schools (RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts via the GEC Buying Cooperative; Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce IFB due June 26, 2026); Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (fresh produce bid due April 23, 2026); Early County Board of Education (food and non-food products IFB due June 8, 2026); City Schools of Decatur (frozen foods and grocery IFB due May 15, 2026); and the State of Georgia itself (food, supplies, and kitchen products RFQ due June 22, 2026)—dominate the recent posting calendar. Missouri procurement includes Rockwood R-VI School District (grocery items bid due April 29, 2026). Connecticut activity is represented by the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (grocery items IFB due June 30, 2026). Delivery requirements are consistent: Monday-through-Friday windows (typically 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.) to multiple school sites with packing and transportation included in pricing and Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms. No recent solicitation names frozen Malaga grapes as a specific line item; the code shows limited direct activity under its exact commodity specification.
