UNSPSC 50542604: Frozen non GMO bushakan citrons

The variety of non GMO citrons known as non GMO bushakan citrons that have 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 50542604 Frozen non GMO bushakan citrons (Commodity) represents a narrow specialty frozen-fruit category that state and local governments rarely buy as standalone procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve bushakan citrons or closely related frozen non-GMO citrus products; instead, they span broad food-service procurement for school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state kitchen operations — including fresh produce, shelf-stable staples, dairy, meat, and prepared foods. The code appears misaligned with the actual solicitations posted against it, suggesting either tagging error or that frozen non-GMO citron demand falls beneath typical purchasing thresholds and visibility for state and local agencies.

The issuing bodies driving recent activity in this code family are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state procurement (State of Georgia). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB for the 2026–27 school year with a bid due date of June 26, 2026; Gwinnett County's informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport's electronic bid for grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program due June 30, 2026. Activity is concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County, Gwinnett County, Early County, and the State of Georgia) and Connecticut (Bridgeport). No frozen non-GMO bushakan citron solicitations appear in the recent-opportunities block; pursuit under this specific code is not supported by current market signal.
