UNSPSC 50543664: Frozen non GMO white riesling grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO white riesling 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 50543664 Frozen non-GMO white Riesling grapes (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The code's narrow focus on a specific frozen grape variety does not align with the actual goods being solicited under recent opportunities, which span comprehensive frozen foods, grocery staples, fresh produce, and school nutrition items across multiple categories — not single-variety specialty produce. The source records nine recent school district and state-level solicitations, none of which specifically reference frozen Riesling grapes or any frozen grape products; instead, procurement activity centers on broad frozen food assortments, fresh produce portfolios (including generic berries and apple varieties), and full-service grocery supply for school nutrition programs. This mismatch between the commodity code's scope and the work actually being purchased suggests the code may have been applied to general frozen-food solicitations by error or as a placeholder, and it carries limited signal for vendors specializing in frozen wine grapes or similar specialty commodity supply.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia and the Southeast, with representative opportunities posted by the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (fresh produce, IFB due April 23, 2026), Douglas County School System (fresh produce and eggs via GEC Buying Cooperative RFP, proposals due March 4, 2026; food supply and distribution RFP with $9 million estimated annual spend, due February 18, 2026), Early County Board of Education (line-by-line food bid, due June 8, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce IFB, due June 26, 2026), and City Schools of Decatur (frozen foods and grocery IFB, due May 15, 2026), along with two out-of-region procurements from Bridgeport, Connecticut (grocery items, due June 30, 2026) and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (grocery items for 900+ line items, due April 29, 2026). Issuers are predominantly school districts and boards of education supporting child nutrition and school lunch programs under USDA compliance. The code warrants skipping unless the firm specifically supplies frozen specialty produce to institutional food service; the recent record does not support active demand under this specific commodity designation.
