UNSPSC 50542401: Frozen non GMO bays cherimoya

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO bays cherimoya 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 50542401 Frozen non-GMO bays cherimoya is a Commodity code that captures specialized frozen fruit procurement, though state and local governments purchase frozen produce items under this code as components of much broader school nutrition solicitations rather than as standalone specialty fruit contracts. Recent opportunities show that frozen items—when solicited at all within this narrow commodity scope—appear as line items within comprehensive grocery, frozen foods, or fresh produce aggregations rather than as dedicated procurements for specific frozen fruit varieties. The actual work being bought across state and local jurisdictions centers on school nutrition support through the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with frozen produce appearing as one input among hundreds of food products spanning proteins, grains, dairy, fresh fruits and vegetables, and prepared items. Issuing bodies include school districts (boards of education) and school systems serving districts across multiple counties, along with municipal education departments; these jurisdictions treat frozen produce as part of standardized, recurring annual food service contracts rather than category-specific buys.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with solicitations from Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut). The most visible recent opportunity is the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB BNB052266, posted June 30, 2026 with the same-day due date, spanning over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat products for delivery through July 2027; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027, posted June 10, 2026 with bids due June 26, 2026, solicited fresh produce across over 200 line items; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004, posted February 4, 2026 with proposals due March 4, 2026, encompassed fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending near $5.5 million. All recent school nutrition procurements impose Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, firm fixed pricing throughout the contract term, and delivery to multiple school sites within set time windows Monday through Friday.
