UNSPSC 50542302: Frozen non GMO seedless breadfruit

The variety of non GMO breadfruit known as non GMO seedless 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 50542302 Frozen non-GMO seedless breadfruit is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct solicitation under its specific product name in recent state and local procurement activity. School districts and education boards dominate the issuing-body mix across recent opportunities, though they pursue this code's scope—frozen and fresh produce for child nutrition and school lunch programs—primarily through broader grocery and produce categories rather than breadfruit specifically. The work actually being solicited under the broader produce and grocery umbrella spans fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen entrees and sides, dairy, grains, condiments, meats, and prepared foods meeting USDA nutrition standards, whole-grain requirements, and low-sodium specifications for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance. Vendors must maintain HACCP plans, provide 24/7 food-recall accessibility, comply with Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed items), carry liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 in coverage, satisfy E-Verify authorization and debarment verification, and deliver to multiple school sites on firm pricing with no separate fuel surcharges.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with school districts in Hancock County, Decatur, Douglas County, and Savannah-Chatham County actively procuring fresh produce and frozen foods for 2026–27 school years. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) issued IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items with a response deadline of June 30, 2026; Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce items with a June 26, 2026 deadline; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for approximately 72 produce line items across 30 districts in two geographic areas, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. The State of Georgia also issued a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) with a June 22, 2026 deadline. Frozen non-GMO seedless breadfruit itself does not appear as a line item in any of the posted opportunities; the code shows little targeted recent activity at the specific commodity level.
