UNSPSC 50542301: Frozen non GMO chataigne breadfruit

The variety of non GMO breadfruit known as non GMO chataigne 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 50542301 Frozen non-GMO chataigne breadfruit (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The source shows no solicitations for frozen chataigne breadfruit or related specialty produce. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code are school district and municipal grocery and produce procurements serving child nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities were tagged to the code or that the code's nominal scope does not reflect what state and local buyers are actually sourcing at this commodity level.

The recent opportunities show substantial and consistent activity in school nutrition procurement across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies, but the products being solicited are broad grocery items (meats, poultry, dairy, cereals, breads, condiments, fruits, and vegetables) and fresh produce staples (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, berries, citrus, leafy greens, potatoes, and eggs). Issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia), county school systems (Hancock County, Early County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; St. Louis County in Missouri), and city school systems (Decatur, Georgia; Bridgeport, Connecticut). The geographic concentration is in Georgia and Missouri, with additional activity in Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking grocery items for the Board of Education with an IFB due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB for fresh produce with bids due June 26, 2026; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two geographic areas in Georgia, with a proposal due date of March 4, 2026; and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri soliciting grocery items for the 2026-27 school year with electronic bids due April 29, 2026. All contracts emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing, and delivery to multiple school sites.
