UNSPSC 50544436: Frozen non GMO saltenitas oranges

The variety of non GMO mandarin oranges and tangerines known as non GMO saltenitas 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 50544436 Frozen non-GMO saltenitas oranges (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a single frozen citrus product—diverges sharply from the actual work being solicited under the recent opportunities tagged to this code. The Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System are all issuing solicitations for comprehensive school nutrition programs spanning hundreds of line items across frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and supplies. None of these opportunities request frozen saltenitas oranges as a distinct line item or primary procurement focus.

The recent opportunities demonstrate that school districts and boards of education across Connecticut, Georgia, and Missouri are sourcing groceries and fresh produce through IFBs and RFPs with responses due between February and July 2026, but the procurement activity reflects broad food-service supply chains rather than single-commodity buys. Without evidence that frozen saltenitas oranges are being solicited as a standalone product or meaningful component of school nutrition contracts, the code shows no actionable recent activity for vendors specializing in this specific product.
