UNSPSC 50543700: Frozen non GMO guavas

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO guavas 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 50543700 Frozen non-GMO guavas, a Class code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently visible under this code. The recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC tag show school districts, county boards of education, and municipal governments soliciting comprehensive grocery and food service contracts spanning hundreds of line items—breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, beverages, and meat products—all subject to National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions, and nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. The scope of work centers on full-line food service supply and distribution, not specialized frozen non-GMO guava procurement. School districts and their nutrition services departments are the primary issuing bodies, joined by municipal procurement offices acting on behalf of school boards and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts simultaneously.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Georgia and Missouri. The Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 grocery line items due the same day, requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content and deliveries to a central warehouse and school sites; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 items with a June 26, 2026, due date; the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB in April 2026 for frozen foods and grocery items with a May 15, 2026, submission deadline; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited bids for over 900 grocery line items with an April 29, 2026, deadline; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative on January 21, 2026, for food supply and distribution services to 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas. The code shows no substantive recent activity directly aligned with frozen non-GMO guava supply alone.
