UNSPSC 50542408: Frozen non GMO spain cherimoya

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO spain 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 50542408 Frozen non-GMO Spain cherimoya (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity under this code. The recent opportunities posted to state and local portals span comprehensive grocery and food-service procurement for school districts, municipalities, and county boards of education — encompassing hundreds of line items across fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, proteins, grains, and prepared entrees for child nutrition programs. The Commodity code nominally describes a single specialty produce item, but issuing bodies are soliciting entire food-service vendor contracts covering bulk agricultural commodities, processed foods, and related supplies. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and less frequently city and county agencies (City of Bridgeport, State of Georgia). The work being solicited involves delivering compliant National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program items meeting USDA standards, Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), whole-grain requirements, low-sodium formulations, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, with HACCP plans, food-recall procedures, and state health inspections required.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary postings from Missouri and broader state-level procurement. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items to the Bridgeport Board of Education with a due date of June 30, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce under IFB #SN002-2027 with a June 26, 2026 response deadline.
