UNSPSC 50543702: Frozen non GMO carrley guavas

The variety of non GMO guavas known as non GMO carrley guavas 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 50543702 Frozen non-GMO parsley guavas (Commodity) shows no active state and local procurement activity directly matching its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly solicit school nutrition program grocery items, fresh produce, and food service distribution—categories that span broad commodity ranges rather than a single frozen specialty item.

The mismatch between code and actual procurement is substantial. State and local buyers posting under this code are school districts, county boards of education, and city purchasing departments in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri seeking contracts for comprehensive food service supply. Recent solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line-item grocery items (including breakfast, dairy, produce, and prepared foods); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 fresh-produce bid covering apples, berries, root vegetables, and citrus across 200+ line items; Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 procurement of 900+ grocery-item line items; and Douglas County School System's multi-district cooperative RFP for produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia districts with an estimated $5.5 million annual spend. Geography concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur, Early County, Hancock County) and extends to Connecticut (Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood). Contract periods uniformly run July 1 through June 30, with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP plan compliance, and firm fixed pricing across 12-month terms. The code as tagged does not reflect actual procurement patterns—activity under this number serves as a general food-service catch-all rather than frozen specialty produce, making the specific commodity categorization unreliable for vendor targeting.
