UNSPSC 50543704: Frozen non GMO pineapple guava

The variety of non GMO guavas known as non GMO pineapple guava 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 50543704 Frozen non-GMO pineapple guava is a Commodity code that addresses frozen specialty fruit procurement, but the recent opportunities block shows limited activity specifically targeting this narrow product line. Instead, state and local buyers—predominantly school districts and municipalities—are procuring frozen and fresh produce as line items within much broader grocery and school nutrition contracts that span hundreds of items across produce categories, proteins, grains, dairy, and supplies. The code's nominal scope (a single frozen fruit variety) diverges sharply from what is actually being solicited: comprehensive fresh and frozen produce packages integrated into National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program supply chains. Issuing bodies are almost exclusively school districts and school systems of varying size, from Early County Board of Education and Hancock County Board of Education to larger systems like the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, and the City of Bridgeport serving its Board of Education. A few state-level and county-level purchasing offices also appear, though school nutrition procurement dominates the activity.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with procurement solicitations from Hancock County Schools (IFB due June 26, 2026), Douglas County School System (RFP due March 4, 2026, and February 18, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (sealed bid due April 23, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (IFB due May 15, 2026), City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases for the Bridgeport Board of Education (electronic bid due June 30, 2026), and Early County Board of Education (line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026). Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District also appears (electronic bid due April 29, 2026). All opportunities require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and delivery to multiple school sites. Given the breadth of each procurement—typically 200–1,100 line items spanning fresh and frozen produce, proteins, grains, and supplies—frozen non-GMO pineapple guava would represent one SKU among hundreds in a winning vendor's fulfillment obligation, not a standalone procurement vehicle.
