UNSPSC 50543643: Frozen non GMO primitivo grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO primitivo 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 50543643 Frozen non-GMO Primitivo grapes (Commodity) shows no material recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The nine opportunities in the most recent activity block span school district food service broadly — grocery items, fresh produce, milk and bread, and frozen foods — but none target or specifically cite frozen Primitivo grapes or frozen specialty wine grapes as a distinct line item. The opportunities name grapes only incidentally within broader fresh-produce or grocery solicitations that emphasize apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, and staple items; none reference frozen grapes, vintage-specific varieties, or non-GMO certification as a procurement requirement.

State and local school nutrition programs across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri dominate the recent activity under this code family — the Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 response date, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) solicited grocery items due June 30, 2026, and Rockwood R-VI School District (Wildwood, Missouri) sought grocery items with a June 8, 2026 deadline. These are primarily commodity-level fresh-produce and grocery procurements tied to child nutrition program funding and Buy American provisions, but the scope and actual purchasing patterns show demand for volume staples — apples, carrots, broccoli, milk, meats, and grains — rather than specialty frozen fruits or wine-grape varieties. The mismatch between the code designation and current solicitation practice suggests either a classification error in the source data or minimal real-world demand for frozen non-GMO Primitivo grapes in state and local procurement channels.
