UNSPSC 50543616: Frozen non GMO french colombard grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO french colombard 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 50543616 Frozen non-GMO French Colombard grapes, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source records five opportunities posted between May and October 2026 under this code tag, but none involve frozen grapes; they center instead on shelf-stable food items, grocery staples, fresh produce, and school nutrition supplies for counties, school districts, and state purchasing. The mismatch suggests the code may be applied incorrectly by issuing bodies tagging broader food-procurement efforts, or that frozen specialty grapes represent a marginal subset of activity not reflected in current solicitations.

The five recorded opportunities span Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), with school districts and county governments as the primary buyers. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 (informal written quotes due October 19, 2026, for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, and vegetables), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (bids due June 26, 2026, spanning apples, berries, leafy greens, and specialty fruits), and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026, for meats, dairy, grains, and milk). No recent opportunities specifically target frozen non-GMO grapes or related specialty frozen fruit products under this code.
