UNSPSC 50543475: Frozen non GMO regina grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO regina 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 50543475 Frozen non-GMO Regina grapes is a Commodity code that sees minimal concrete procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code document solicitations for broad grocery and food-service categories — frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, prepared entrees, and condiments — rather than specialty frozen grape products. The Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items and the Hancock County Schools IFB for fresh produce both touch frozen inventory, but neither specifically itemizes frozen grapes or specialty frozen produce. School districts and county education agencies issue the majority of these solicitations to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance, with Buy American domestic-content requirements (typically 51 percent minimum) and strict nutritional-standards mandates including whole-grain, low-sodium, and no-added-sugar specifications. Vendors must maintain HACCP plans, carry $500,000 to $2,000,000 in general liability coverage, comply with E-Verify authorization, and deliver Monday through Friday within defined warehouse or school-site windows.

The geographic concentration is heavily skewed toward Georgia school districts, with recent activity centered on Hancock County, Decatur, Douglas County, and Savannah-Chatham County. Additional solicitations come from Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education, due June 30, 2026), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, due April 29, 2026), and a statewide Georgia food-supplies procurement (due June 22, 2026). The representative opportunities show a pattern of large-scale, fixed-price annual contracts running July 1 through June 30 with renewal options; the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce through the GEC Buying Cooperative (30 school districts across two areas, due March 4, 2026) cited estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, though no frozen-grape line items were specified. The code shows little evidence of specialty or branded frozen-grape procurement at the state and local level; solicitations instead aggregate commodity-level food service with standard frozen-vegetable and frozen-fruit categories bundled into larger grocery packages.
