UNSPSC 50543644: Frozen non GMO roussanne grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO roussanne 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 50543644 Frozen non-GMO Roussanne grapes, Commodity, does not see material state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad school nutrition procurement under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, where issuing bodies solicit comprehensive food service supply contracts spanning hundreds of line items across fresh produce, frozen products, dairy, meats, grains, and grocery staples — but none of the available summaries identify frozen Roussanne grapes or any specialty wine grapes as discrete procurement targets. The Commodity code's narrow specification (frozen, non-GMO, varietal) contrasts sharply with the actual buying activity, which comprises multi-thousand-item contracts for school cafeteria operations, central distribution warehouses, and standardized commodity sourcing under federal nutrition compliance requirements.

School districts, county boards of education, and a city school system in Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut dominate the recent-opportunities block. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued two separate RFPs in early 2026 for fresh produce and eggs ($5.5 million aggregate across two geographic areas) and food supply distribution ($9 million annually), both through cooperative purchasing vehicles; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), and City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) all posted multi-hundred-item grocery and produce solicitations between February and June 2026. All contracts require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and delivery to school sites Monday through Friday. None of these solicitations reference frozen grapes of any kind, let alone the varietal specification this Commodity code describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity and warrants skipping unless the firm has prior relationship data suggesting dormant demand or a niche supplier strategy within broader school nutrition contracts.
