UNSPSC 50544661: Frozen non GMO yellow baby watermelon

The variety of non GMO melons known as non GMO yellow baby 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 50544661 Frozen non GMO yellow baby watermelon, a Commodity code, covers specialty produce items purchased by state and local education and social-services agencies. State and local governments buy under this code primarily shelf-stable and fresh produce for school nutrition programs and senior services, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations specifically for frozen watermelon; instead, the code appears in procurement records dominated by broader fresh-produce and grocery-item acquisitions. The issuing bodies are school districts and county social-services departments, with school nutrition programs representing the primary customer base across multiple jurisdictions. Work solicited includes fresh and processed fruits and vegetables meeting USDA Buy American provisions, Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, whole-grain and low-sodium requirements, and food-safety compliance including HACCP plans and recall procedures.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple and citrus varieties, berries, and specialty produce with a June 26, 2026 response date; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for approximately 300 food items including meats, dairy, vegetables, and fruits due June 8, 2026; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) sought informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026.
