UNSPSC 50545014: Frozen non GMO dream navel oranges

The variety of non GMO oranges known as non GMO dream navel 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 50545014 Frozen non-GMO dream navel oranges is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are school district food-service procurements spanning multiple food categories—fresh produce, frozen foods, groceries, and dairy—rather than a single frozen citrus product. The Commodity code's highly specific product designation (frozen navel oranges) does not appear as a line item or named product in any of the eight recent solicitations, which instead request bids on comprehensive multi-hundred-line-item food packages that include produce, proteins, grains, dairy, condiments, and prepared items to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program.

The issuing bodies are school districts and boards of education across Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut—the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia serving 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative), and City Schools of Decatur (Georgia)—with activity concentrated in Georgia school nutrition procurement. Recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce due June 26, 2026, the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026, Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, Rockwood School District's electronic bid for 900+ grocery items due April 29, 2026, and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative due March 4, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to frozen navel oranges as a standalone commodity.
