UNSPSC 50543487: Frozen non GMO sugrasixteen grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO sugrasixteen 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 50543487 Frozen non GMO sugrasixteen grapes (Commodity) does not see substantial documented recent activity aligned to its stated scope. The one recent opportunity naming this code—Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items—solicited peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables, none of which match frozen grapes. The broader state and local food procurement activity documented here spans fresh produce, grocery staples for school nutrition programs, and miscellaneous food supplies across Georgia and Connecticut school districts, county boards of education, and state agencies, but these solicitations are tagged to codes covering general grocery items, fresh produce, and mixed food supplies rather than this specific commodity code.

If pursuing activity under this code, monitor school district and county nutrition programs in Georgia, which represent the primary issuing bodies visible in the recent record—Gwinnett County, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia have all posted food procurement activity in the past five months. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent solicitations suggests the code may be underutilized for frozen-grape buys, or vendors should verify code assignment in any RFQ or IFB before responding, as misclassification is common in state and local food procurement.
