UNSPSC 50543615: Frozen non GMO emerald riesling grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO emerald riesling 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 50543615 Frozen non-GMO Emerald Riesling grapes is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code consistently solicit broad food and grocery procurement—fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, meats, condiments, and supplies spanning hundreds of line items—rather than a single specialty frozen grape variety. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, 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, and Douglas County School System have all recently issued solicitations for school nutrition and child nutrition services, but none of the posted RFPs, RFQs, or IFBs reference Emerald Riesling grapes, frozen or otherwise, in their scopes or line-item lists.

State and local procurement under this code shows no recent activity in its actual commodity scope. School districts and education boards across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri dominate recent opportunities, but they are bidding comprehensive food-service contracts—some exceeding $9 million annually—with produce delivered in bulk to central warehouses and school sites. Frozen specialty grapes do not appear in any representative recent solicitation. The classification mismatch suggests either that frozen Emerald Riesling grapes are not actively procured by state and local food-service programs, or that purchasing offices are not tagging this specific commodity correctly. A firm pursuing this code should verify actual demand with target school districts and nutrition directors before investing in compliance infrastructure.
