UNSPSC 50542403: Frozen non GMO burtons cherimoya

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO burtons 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 50542403 Frozen non-GMO burtons cherimoya, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct recent activity under this specific product specification; state and local governments procuring under this code are primarily school nutrition programs and districts purchasing comprehensive grocery and frozen-food bundles that nominally include frozen produce but do not isolate specialty frozen fruit items like burtons cherimoya. The recent solicitations tagged to this code reflect broad commodity buys from school districts and state agencies across the Southeast and Midwest, where school nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix. Scope of work centers on bulk grocery procurement to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, encompassing frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, grains, proteins, and prepared entrees in quantities spanning hundreds to over 1,100 line items per contract. The frozen-product category within these buys typically covers standard frozen vegetables, fruits, prepared sides, and entrees; specialty frozen fruit such as burtons cherimoya does not appear in any of the representative solicitations as a distinct line item or specification. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP food-safety plans, Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, USDA whole-grain and low-sodium requirements, E-Verify authorization, and commercial liability insurance.

The dominant issuing bodies are school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut; Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County systems in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri) and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts), with one state-level procurement from Georgia. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200+ items (due June 26, 2026), Douglas County's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026), and Rockwood School District's bid for 900+ grocery items (due April 29, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri. Contract terms uniformly run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options extending two to four additional years. All procurement vehicles require firm fixed pricing with limited escalation allowances tied to documented market indices; separate fuel surcharges are prohibited and delivery charges are included in quoted prices. Payment terms range from Net 30 to Net 45 days post-inspection.
