UNSPSC 50544004: Frozen non GMO malayan kumquats

The variety of non GMO kumquats known as non GMO malayan kumquats 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 50544004 Frozen non-GMO Malayan kumquats is a Commodity code that in practice sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity specifically aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations for frozen non-GMO Malayan kumquats; instead, state and local buyers posting food-related solicitations are requesting broad categories of shelf-stable foods, fresh produce, grocery staples, and National School Lunch Program compliance items. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual buying pattern suggests this code does not map to meaningful state and local purchasing volume.

Recent food-procurement activity in the source spans school districts, county governments, and state agencies across Georgia and Connecticut, with representative solicitations including Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits; the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery-items bid supporting the National School Lunch Program with over 1,100 line items and Buy American requirements; and Early County Board of Education's June 2026 food-and-non-food bid covering meats, dairy, vegetables, and paper supplies across three schools. None of these solicitations explicitly name frozen non-GMO Malayan kumquats as a line item. A firm pursuing this code should verify whether the UNSPSC assignment reflects actual state and local buying patterns or represents a data-tagging anomaly; activity under broader food-commodity codes (fresh produce, shelf-stable groceries, or school nutrition products) may offer more viable pursuit opportunities.
