UNSPSC 50543484: Frozen non GMO sugarose grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO sugarose 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 50543484 Frozen non-GMO sugarose grapes (Commodity) appears in recent state and local procurement as one product line within broader school nutrition and food service solicitations, where school districts purchase frozen fruits alongside fresh produce, vegetables, dairy, and prepared foods to support breakfast and lunch programs. The code's nominal scope — a specific produce item — diverges meaningfully from the actual buying patterns in recent opportunities: the solicitations name frozen grapes only incidentally as part of large, mixed-category grocery and frozen-food procurements spanning 200 to 1,100 line items per contract. State and local issuing bodies pursuing this code consist primarily of school districts and boards of education (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and one state procurement (Georgia). These districts typically consolidate frozen fruits, fresh produce, meats, dairy, and staples into single integrated grocery bids rather than isolating frozen specialty items by varietal or processing type.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Missouri with secondary activity in Connecticut. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) issued IFB BNB052266 on June 30, 2026 for over 1,100 grocery line items due the same day; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026 with bids due June 26, 2026 for fresh produce across 200+ items; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) sought food and non-food products due June 8, 2026 with 300+ food items; City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued IFB PE77310NONST2026000000018 on April 16, 2026 for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) posted Bid 26-34 on March 22, 2026 for 72 fresh produce items due April 23, 2026; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts on February 4, 2026 with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026 at approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend. All contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and require Buy American compliance (51% domestic content), HACCP plans, firm pricing with limited mid-term adjustments, and direct delivery to school sites. The code shows moderate baseline activity in school nutrition procurement but no dedicated single-vendor or specialty-produce opportunities focused specifically on frozen non-GMO grapes.
