UNSPSC 50543906: Frozen non GMO siberian kiwi fruit

The variety of non GMO kiwi fruit known as non GMO siberian 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 50543906 Frozen non-GMO Siberian kiwi fruit is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line that sees minimal direct solicitation in state and local procurement; the recent opportunities block shows no dedicated procurement notices for this specific item. State and local food purchasing does occur under related food product codes, primarily through school nutrition programs and county food-service operations that source shelf-stable and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and specialty items through broader IFB and RFQ processes. When frozen kiwi or specialty fruits are procured, they appear as single line items within larger food-supply solicitations rather than as standalone contracts. Issuing bodies soliciting food products include county boards of education (which dominate the recent activity), municipal school districts, county boards of commissioners managing senior services or community programs, and state agencies procuring for institutional dining or nutrition assistance programs.

The geographic footprint of state and local food procurement spans multiple states, with recent representative opportunities clustered in Georgia — Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ on October 19, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services; Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026; Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items and non-food supplies; and the State of Georgia itself issued a solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Outside Georgia, the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut solicited grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department in support of the National School Lunch Program, with electronic bids due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items subject to Buy American provisions and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards. Frozen specialty fruits such as kiwi would qualify as commodity substitutes within these broader procurements where specification-driven nutrition and produce sourcing permit vendor options, but the code itself shows no dedicated state or local procurement activity.
