UNSPSC 50542402: Frozen non GMO bronceada cherimoya

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO bronceada 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 50542402 Frozen non GMO bronceada cherimoya (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged with this code describe school food service procurement — grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, and general food supply and distribution for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. These solicitations span frozen produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and prepared entrees, none of which align with the code's nominal description of a specialized frozen fruit variety. The issuing bodies are school districts, county boards of education, and city school systems across multiple states, supplemented by a state-level food procurement (Georgia) and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving multiple districts simultaneously.

The geographic spread centers on Georgia (Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and State of Georgia), with recent activity also in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). School districts in this code segment procure annually or biannually under IFB and RFP vehicles, typically with contract terms of July 1 through June 30 and firm-fixed pricing across 12 months. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking bids for over 1,100 grocery line items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education requesting bids on fresh produce spanning 200+ items (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); Early County Board of Education soliciting approximately 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products (due June 8, 2026); and Douglas County School System issuing an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). The code shows substantial recent activity, though the mismatch between the code's nominal description and the actual procurement scope suggests a tagging or classification error rather than genuine commodity-level alignment.
