UNSPSC 50543901: Frozen non GMO ananasnaja kiwi fruit

The variety of non GMO kiwi fruit known as non GMO ananasnaja kiwi fruit 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 50543901 Frozen non-GMO ananasnaja kiwi fruit is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable and fresh food items for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show little activity specifically targeting frozen kiwi fruit; instead, they reflect broad food-procurement solicitations encompassing hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared items sourced to meet National School Lunch Program requirements, Buy American provisions, and nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. Issuing bodies are primarily school boards and county education departments, with participation from county commissioners' offices managing senior meal programs and state procurement offices supporting institutional food service. The work involves managing multi-location delivery, compliance with USDA commodity preferences and nutrition labeling, blind product testing, HACCP food-safety documentation, and firm fixed-price contracting with no fuel or freight surcharges.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Georgia, with Hancock County Board of Education posting an IFB for fresh produce including kiwis for the 2026-27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education requesting line-by-line bids for food and non-food items (bids due June 8, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posting an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department (bids due June 30, 2026), and the State of Georgia posted a solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). Award criteria consistently favor lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with school districts reserving the right to split awards by line item or vendor. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with options to extend, and vendors must meet commercial general liability insurance requirements of $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence depending on issuing body.
