UNSPSC 50541570: Frozen non GMO red boscoop apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO red boscoop 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 50541570 Frozen non-GMO red Boscoop apples, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement but does not appear in the recent solicitation activity. The three school district food bids and county/city procurement records shown in recent postings reference fresh produce, frozen products, and comprehensive grocery line items, but none explicitly solicit frozen red Boscoop apples by variety or SKU. The Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce bid for school year 2026-27, posted June 10, 2026, lists over 200 fresh-produce line items including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) but does not name Boscoop specifically; Early County Board of Education's June 2026 food bid and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 grocery bid span broad frozen and shelf-stable categories without itemizing specific frozen-apple SKUs. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for food items (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) focuses on shelf-stable goods (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) rather than frozen fruit.

State and local procurement activity in this space centers on school nutrition programs (breakfast and lunch), senior services, and municipal food distribution, with issuing bodies including school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), cities (City of Bridgeport), and the State of Georgia. Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Connecticut. The code shows minimal or no alignment with posted solicitation scope; frozen specialty-apple procurement at the state and local level does not surface in current activity. Vendors pursuing this code should track school-nutrition and institutional-catering RFQs and IFBs more broadly, as frozen produce occasionally appears in multi-item food bids, but standalone or frequent solicitation for frozen Boscoop apples specifically is not evident in the recent record.
