UNSPSC 50543618: Frozen non GMO gamay beaujolais grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO gamay beaujolais 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 50543618 Frozen non-GMO Gamay Beaujolais grapes (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under this code. The recent opportunities records show no bids for frozen wine-grape varieties; instead, the code appears to be tagged on general grocery and food-service procurements for school nutrition programs, senior services, and municipal food purchases where the actual scope spans shelf-stable pantry items, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and non-food kitchen supplies.

State and local school districts and county agencies are the primary issuing bodies under the code, with bids posted in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). The representative opportunities show Gwinnett County requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, and sauces (IWQ 140229, informal written quotes, due October 19, 2026); Bridgeport Board of Education seeking over 1,100 line items of breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, dairy, and meat for the National School Lunch Program (BNB052266, electronic IFB, due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Schools requesting over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); and Early County Schools soliciting approximately 300 food items plus non-food supplies for school meal programs (line-by-line IFB, due June 8, 2026). These bids typically enforce Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content, USDA nutrition compliance, HACCP documentation, and delivery to school sites or central warehouses Monday through Friday within narrow time windows. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the frozen wine-grape commodity its name describes.
