UNSPSC 50543641: Frozen non GMO pinot gris grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO pinot gris 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 50543641 Frozen non-GMO pinot gris grapes, a Commodity code, shows no direct recent state and local procurement activity matching the code's specific product scope. The recent opportunities in the dataset tag grocery and food service solicitations under this code, but the actual buying spans comprehensive school nutrition programs encompassing fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, condiments, and supplies — not frozen wine grapes. School districts, state education agencies, and municipalities are the primary issuing bodies, soliciting through IFBs and RFPs to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. The code appears to be a miscategorization or carryover tag from a broader grocery classification system used by some procurement offices, rather than evidence of meaningful demand for the specialized agricultural commodity the code nominates.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri school districts. The Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education issued IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items with a due date of June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce under IFB SN002-2027 with responses due June 26, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) requested grocery items for 2026–27 with bids due April 29, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperating districts, with an estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas and proposals due March 4, 2026. A business development professional evaluating this code should recognize that frozen pinot gris grapes are not a realistic procurement target under 50543641 based on current state and local activity; the code's presence in these school nutrition solicitations likely reflects vendor classification or system tagging rather than actual demand for the commodity.
