UNSPSC 50543612: Frozen non GMO chenin blanc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO chenin blanc 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 50543612 Frozen non-GMO Chenin Blanc grapes is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not solicitation frozen Chenin Blanc grapes or any specialty grape product; instead, they reflect broad school nutrition procurement covering hundreds of line items across multiple food categories—meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments, frozen items, and fresh produce in bulk quantities. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual work being bought suggests that state and local procurement offices are tagging comprehensive food-service contracts with commodity-level codes that do not reflect their true scope, or that frozen specialty grapes are a minor line item within much larger grocery solicitations that are not disaggregated in the available records.

The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and school boards across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri—including Hancock County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System (serving 30 districts through a cooperative), Rockwood R-VI School District, and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education—along with the State of Georgia purchasing on behalf of its agencies. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (with multiple concurrent school district and statewide solicitations in early 2026), Connecticut (Bridgeport, due date June 30, 2026), and Missouri (Rockwood, due date April 29, 2026). Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's grocery bid (IFB, due June 30, 2026, covering 1,100+ line items with Buy American requirements), Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026, 200+ line items), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce annual contract (72 items, due April 23, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP (serving 25,500 students with approximately $9,000,000 annual expenditure, due February 18, 2026). No opportunities solicit frozen Chenin Blanc grapes specifically.
