UNSPSC 50542300: Frozen non GMO breadfruit

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO breadfruit that has 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 50542300 Frozen non-GMO breadfruit, a Class code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains ten recent school district and municipal food service solicitations posted between January and June 2026, but none specifically target frozen non-GMO breadfruit or similar specialty frozen produce items. The recent opportunities span broad grocery and food supply categories—Bridgeport (Connecticut) issued an IFB for over 1,100 general grocery line items including frozen products; Hancock County Schools (Georgia) sought fresh produce across 200+ items; Decatur City Schools and Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia) requested frozen foods and fresh produce; Rockwood School District (Missouri) solicited 900+ grocery items; and Douglas County Schools (Georgia) coordinated a cooperative buying initiative for produce and eggs across 30 districts with approximately $5.5 million in combined annual spend. None of these solicitations identify frozen non-GMO breadfruit as a line item or product category.

The issuing bodies in the recent block are state education departments and school districts—primarily in Georgia and Connecticut, with activity also in Missouri. Breadfruit does not appear as a procurement focus in any of these records. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local food service procurement suggests this code either receives minimal use in the school nutrition and municipal food purchasing context or may be misapplied when tagged to broader grocery solicitations.
