UNSPSC 50543002: Frozen non GMO yellow dragonfruit

The variety of non GMO dragonfruit known as non GMO yellow dragonfruit 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 50543002 Frozen non-GMO yellow dragonfruit, a Commodity code, sees no recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code across multiple school districts, county boards of education, and municipal purchasing offices all solicit broad frozen and fresh produce categories—entire grocery programs, fresh-produce baskets spanning dozens of apple, berry, and vegetable varieties, and comprehensive food-supply contracts—none of which isolates or specifically names frozen non-GMO yellow dragonfruit as a line item or focus area. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited indicates that frozen non-GMO yellow dragonfruit is either not purchased by state and local governments in quantities sufficient to warrant specific solicitation activity, or when it is purchased, it is subsumed into broader commodity codes rather than tagged to this narrowly defined Commodity code.

State and local procurement activity under related frozen and fresh produce codes remains robust, particularly in school nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's grocery-items IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's National School Lunch Program over a 12-month term; the Douglas County School System's fresh-produce-and-eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) spanning 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery-items bid (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items for approximately 19,000 students. These opportunities share common requirements: Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), HACCP plans, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards and whole-grain requirements. Bidding remains competitive, with districts reserving the right to award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
