UNSPSC 50543603: Frozen non GMO burger grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO burger 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 50543603 Frozen non-GMO burger grapes is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve comprehensive school nutrition procurement for breakfast and lunch programs — spanning fresh produce, frozen and grocery items, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and supplies — rather than a single frozen specialty product. School districts and county boards of education are the primary issuing bodies, sourcing food items that comply with the National School Lunch Program, USDA Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and whole-grain requirements. Vendors must maintain HACCP plans, provide food recall procedures with 24/7 accessibility, carry general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence depending on district size), comply with E-Verify authorization, and deliver Monday through Friday between early morning and mid-afternoon to central warehouses and individual school sites on firm-fixed pricing with no separate fuel surcharges.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut. The Bridgeport Board of Education posted solicitation BNB052266 (posted June 30, 2026, closed same day) for over 1,100 line items of grocery goods with deliveries to the central warehouse and school sites and blind testing of samples at vendor expense. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for over 200 fresh produce items across multiple apple and berry varieties, root vegetables, and specialty fruits to three school locations. Early County Board of Education in Georgia solicited approximately 300 food items plus 60 non-food supplies (due June 8, 2026), while Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri sought over 900 grocery line items (due April 29, 2026) with electronic bidding through NUTRIKIDS and an estimated daily participation of 7,800 students. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (posted March 22, 2026) requested 72 fresh produce items to 60 school sites, and the Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative issued RFP SN 26-004 (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across both areas. The code shows no relevant recent activity matching frozen non-GMO burger grapes specifically; the mismatch between the nominal commodity and actual school nutrition procurement indicates a coding error in the source data.
