UNSPSC 50543611: Frozen non GMO chardonnay grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO chardonnay 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 50543611 Frozen non-GMO Chardonnay grapes is a Commodity code that does not map to meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities records show school districts and municipalities soliciting broadly for grocery items, fresh produce, and food service supplies under this code, but the specific product — frozen Chardonnay grapes — appears in none of the posted solicitations. The City of Bridgeport, Hancock County Schools, the State of Georgia, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System all issued RFPs, IFBs, and RFQs during the first half of 2026 for school nutrition programs and institutional food service, but their scope encompasses general frozen and fresh produce, dairy, meats, condiments, and prepared items—not specialized wine grapes. The mismatch between the code's nominal product and the actual work being bought suggests this code either is misapplied to state and local procurement data or sees no active solicitation volume at the commodity level.

The geographic concentration of recent activity centers on Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County) and touches Connecticut (Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood), with one state-level procurement from Georgia. All the representative opportunities target school nutrition programs under federal USDA National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program frameworks, which drive standardized sourcing timelines and Buy American provisions. Procurement mechanics are consistent across issuers—IFBs and RFPs due between February and June 2026, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday, contract terms July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and insurance requirements of $1 million general liability. If frozen non-GMO Chardonnay grapes are a real procurement need in state or local food service, they do not surface in current market activity under this code.
