UNSPSC 50543663: Frozen non GMO viognier grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO viognier 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 50543663 Frozen non-GMO viognier grapes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect frozen specialty wine-grape sourcing. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad school nutrition procurement for grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, and food service distribution, none of which specifically target frozen viognier grapes or specialty varietal products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited indicates this Commodity code shows no relevant recent activity for frozen specialty grapes in the state and local market.

The opportunities posted under this code between February and June 2026 reflect institutional food service buying by school districts and municipal education agencies across Georgia and Missouri, soliciting comprehensive grocery baskets, fresh produce assortments, and food-service distribution contracts—not specialty or varietal frozen grape products. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Early County Schools (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all issued IFBs and RFPs for broad-based school nutrition items. The largest identified procurement—Douglas County's food supply and distribution RFP—targets approximately $9 million in annual spending for main-line food service across 32 schools, with no specialty or varietal components. No opportunities in the source material reference frozen grapes, specialty wine varieties, or products aligned with the code's defined scope.
