UNSPSC 50543302: Frozen non GMO duncan grapefruit

The variety of non GMO grapefruit known as non GMO duncan grapefruit 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 50543302 Frozen non-GMO Duncan grapefruit, a Commodity code, does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block shows nine school district and municipal food-service solicitations posted between January and June 2026, spanning fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, and main-line food distribution for child nutrition programs—but none specifically target frozen Duncan grapefruit or any single frozen-fruit commodity. The code's nominal scope implies a narrowly defined product line, yet state and local buyers are posting broad category RFPs and IFBs that aggregate multiple product families (fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, proteins, condiments, and supplies) into single procurements with 200 to 1,100 line items each. This pattern reflects the structural reality of school nutrition procurement: districts source across product categories in unified contracts rather than narrow commodity purchases, and the aggregation blurs the relevance of single-commodity UNSPSC codes at the point-of-solicitation level.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and one city municipality—Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut)—with two state-level procurements (State of Georgia) that are less detailed in the available records. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary presence in Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs (posted February 4, 2026; due March 4, 2026) targeting 30 school districts through a buying cooperative with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for one area, and the Rockwood R-VI School District's bid for over 900 grocery-line items (posted March 31, 2026; due April 29, 2026) serving nearly 19,000 students. School nutrition solicitations uniformly require Buy American compliance (51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP food-safety plans, firm fixed pricing without fuel surcharges, and delivery Monday through Friday during school hours to multiple sites.
