UNSPSC 50544407: Frozen non GMO fallglo oranges

The variety of non GMO mandarin oranges and tangerines known as non GMO fallglo oranges 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 50544407 Frozen non-GMO Fallglo oranges (Commodity) sees limited recent state and local procurement activity specifically for this product, though the code sits within broader school nutrition solicitations for frozen and fresh produce that school districts source as part of national school lunch and breakfast programs. State and local governments buying under this commodity code are overwhelmingly school districts—Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Rockwood R-VI School District—along with one state-level procurement by Georgia for food and kitchen supplies. These jurisdictions procure frozen fruits and vegetables, including citrus products, to meet USDA nutrition standards under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with emphasis on domestic sourcing (Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content), whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, allergen restrictions (no nuts or nut oils), and HACCP food safety plans. Pricing is firm for contract periods typically July 1 through June 30 of the following year, with transportation and packing included; vendors must carry $500,000 to $2,000,000 in general liability insurance and comply with E-Verify authorization and debarment certification.

Recent solicitations cluster heavily in Georgia and Connecticut. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued an IFB (BNB052266) on June 30, 2026 for 1,100+ line items of grocery items including frozen products, with delivery to a central warehouse and school sites. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013) on June 10, 2026 due June 26, 2026 for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple varieties delivered to three school locations. Early County Board of Education, Georgia issued a line-by-line food bid (PE55045NONST2027000000006) on May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products. The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited bids for over 900 grocery line items (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027) on March 31, 2026 due April 29, 2026. The Douglas County School System, Georgia issued RFP 26-004 (PE64810NONST2026000000047) on February 4, 2026 due March 4, 2026 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend. The code shows no standout repeat single-commodity opportunities for frozen non-GMO Fallglo oranges specifically; instead, the commodity appears as one line item within much larger multi-hundred-line-item grocery and produce aggregations, typically bundled with frozen vegetables, fruits, and other frozen food categories.
