UNSPSC 50543485: Frozen non GMO sugarthirteen grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO sugarthirteen 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 50543485 Frozen non-GMO sugarthirteen grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations requesting frozen non-GMO sugarthirteen grapes or anything close to that product specification. The nine recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code address school nutrition procurement across a much broader spectrum — grocery items, fresh produce, eggs, food supply and distribution services, and child nutrition supplies spanning dozens or hundreds of line items per solicitation, not specialized grape products.

State and local buyers posting under this code include school districts (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), a state agriculture or procurement office (State of Georgia), and a city purchasing department (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). The Douglas County School System appears twice, issuing separate RFPs for fresh produce and eggs supplied through a buying cooperative and for main-line food supply and distribution services. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Missouri, Connecticut, and a statewide Georgia procurement. Recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking over 1,100 grocery line items (IFB, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education requesting over 200 fresh produce line items (IFB, due June 26, 2026), the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by geographic area (proposals due March 4, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District seeking over 900 grocery line items for the 2026–27 school year (IFB, due April 29, 2026). The mismatch between the code's stated product and the actual solicitation scope suggests a taxonomy assignment error at the source; the code shows little relevant recent activity for its nominal commodity.
