UNSPSC 50543479: Frozen non GMO royal black seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO royal 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 50543479 Frozen non-GMO royal black seedless grapes, a Commodity code, covers frozen specialty grape products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and senior services departments. The recent opportunities show that state and local buyers under this code are soliciting broadly categorized food procurement (fresh produce, shelf-stable items, frozen products, dairy, and proteins) to support the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and senior meal services. The code's narrow product name does not reflect actual buying patterns — frozen grapes appear as one line item within much larger food baskets spanning 35 to 1,100+ SKUs per solicitation, meaning vendors winning work under this code must typically supply across multiple food categories rather than specialty items alone.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Bridgeport Board of Education all posting solicitations in the recent window; senior services and state-level procurement also appear (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services and the State of Georgia). Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Connecticut, with Hancock County Schools posting a fresh-produce IFB due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items including multiple apple and berry varieties, melons, citrus, and leafy greens; Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 for 300+ food items across meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains; and Bridgeport Board of Education solicited grocery items via electronic bid due June 30, 2026 under the National School Lunch Program with over 1,100 line items subject to Buy American (51% domestic agricultural content) and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products due October 19, 2026. All school-district contracts require firm pricing with no fuel surcharges, 48-hour to 72-hour delivery windows, HACCP compliance, and Buy American verification.
