UNSPSC 50543206: Frozen non GMO worcestershire gooseberries

The variety of non GMO gooseberries known as non GMO worcestershire gooseberries 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 50543206 Frozen non-GMO worcestershire gooseberries is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within institutional food procurement. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and county departments purchasing shelf-stable and specialty food items to support school nutrition programs, senior services, and food assistance initiatives. Recent opportunities show that issuing bodies are sourcing a broad range of food products — including frozen produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, proteins, grains, dairy, and specialty items — often bundled into larger food contracts that span hundreds of line items. The code itself reflects a specific frozen-produce SKU, but procurement bodies are soliciting it as part of comprehensive food-supply agreements rather than as a standalone item. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education), Hancock County Board of Education, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education all recently posted food-procurement opportunities that likely encompass frozen and specialty produce among dozens or hundreds of other items.

Recent solicitations cluster in Georgia and Connecticut. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a due date of October 19, 2026 and delivery required by December 7, 2026. The City of Bridgeport posted a grocery-items bid for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department with electronic submissions due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items subject to Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients) and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards.
