UNSPSC 50543652: Frozen non GMO semillon grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO semillon 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 50543652 Frozen non-GMO Semillon grapes (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent opportunities in the block are overwhelmingly broad school nutrition solicitations for comprehensive grocery items, fresh produce staples, frozen foods, and food service distribution — categories that do not map to a single specialty frozen varietal. Frozen non-GMO Semillon grapes, a niche commodity, do not appear in any of the posted solicitations, suggesting either a tagging misalignment or minimal real-world demand for this specific product under this code at the state and local level. School districts and municipalities are buying fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), frozen entrees and breakfast items, dairy, meats, and staple groceries in volume, not specialty frozen fruit varieties.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include school districts in Georgia (Douglas County, Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), a school district in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI in St. Louis County), a Connecticut city (Bridgeport), and a state procurement office (State of Georgia). All recent solicitations are school-nutrition-related IFBs or RFPs with response dates between June and late April 2026. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items of produce varieties, and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' grocery-items IFB for the Board of Education (due June 30, 2026) covering over 1,100 line items. All contracts require firm pricing, domestic sourcing compliance (51 percent domestic content minimum), HACCP plans, and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with additional activity in Connecticut and Missouri. Prospects should assess whether the code's tagging reflects actual procurement intent or represents a taxonomy error.
