UNSPSC 50544633: Frozen non GMO moon and stars watermelon

The variety of non GMO melons known as non GMO moon and stars watermelon 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 50544633 Frozen non GMO moon and stars watermelon is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific produce item, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no targeted solicitations for frozen specialty watermelon varieties. The available opportunities in the recent record span general grocery procurement, fresh produce, and school nutrition programs—categories that encompass shelf-stable foods, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and non-food supplies—but none specifically reference frozen non-GMO moon and stars watermelon or any frozen watermelon products. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County), county government purchasing offices (Gwinnett County), city departments of education and public purchases (City of Bridgeport), and state procurement (State of Georgia). The geographic footprint spans Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, and state-level) and Connecticut (Bridgeport).

Recent opportunities show that school districts and counties are consolidating food procurement around comprehensive nutrition and supply contracts rather than commodity-specific items. Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB on June 10, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items including multiple apple and melon varieties for the 2026-27 school year; Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items, dairy, bread, and non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program; and Gwinnett County issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable grocery items. The City of Bridgeport solicited grocery items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services under the National School Lunch Program on June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items. The State of Georgia posted a general food and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to the frozen specialty watermelon category as defined; practitioners should verify whether this code assignment reflects actual procurement need or a taxonomic mismatch.
