UNSPSC 50541542: Frozen non GMO james grieve apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO james grieve apples 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 50541542 Frozen non-GMO James Grieve apples (Commodity) sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code represents a single branded frozen apple variety, yet the recent opportunities block does not feature any solicitations specifically for frozen James Grieve apples or for this particular frozen-apple commodity. State and local procurement under this code appears dormant or misaligned with the opportunities currently posted by school districts and purchasing offices.

Recent activity in the broader frozen and fresh-produce space for school nutrition programs focuses on multi-item produce contracts, general frozen-grocery bundles, and fresh-produce portfolios that span dozens of apple varieties — Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, and Jazz — rather than single frozen-apple SKUs. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System have all posted fresh-produce and grocery-items solicitations since February 2026, but none name James Grieve apples specifically. Procurement offices issuing under this commodity code — if any — have not posted notices visible in the current block. The geographic scope of activity remains unclear due to absence of relevant opportunities, though recent school-nutrition solicitations cluster in Georgia and Missouri. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices actually source frozen James Grieve apples as a line item or whether they consolidate apple purchases under broader frozen-produce or fresh-produce contracts that do not isolate this variety.
