UNSPSC 50543623: Frozen non GMO lambrusco grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO lambrusco 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 50543623 Frozen non GMO lambrusco grapes (Commodity) does not align with actual state and local procurement activity under this code. Recent solicitations tagged to this Commodity code cover broad grocery and food-service categories for school nutrition programs, not frozen lambrusco grapes or comparable specialty produce items.

The recent opportunities show school districts and municipal education agencies procuring comprehensive food-service supplies—including fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and breakfast/lunch program staples—through RFPs and IFBs. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery items with a June 30, 2026 response deadline under solicitation BNB052266. Hancock County Board of Education requested over 200 line items of fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, and specialty items) through IFB #SN002-2027 with a June 26, 2026 deadline. Other representative procurements include the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (over 900 line items, April 29, 2026 deadline), the City Schools of Decatur (IFB for frozen foods and grocery items, May 15, 2026 deadline), and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (72 fresh produce items, April 23, 2026 deadline). All contracts emphasize National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP plans, food-safety certifications, and nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and appears across school districts in Connecticut, Missouri, and other jurisdictions. The code's nominal description—frozen non-GMO lambrusco grapes—bears no discernible relationship to the scope of work actually being solicited. State and local buyers are not currently procuring specialty grape varieties under this tag; the mismatch suggests a data classification error rather than an active, viable procurement segment for this specific commodity.
