UNSPSC 50545031: Frozen non GMO osceola oranges

The variety of non GMO oranges known as non GMO osceola 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 50545031 Frozen non-GMO Osceola oranges is a Commodity code that describes a narrow product line — specifically frozen citrus fruit — but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevant solicitation volume. The three recent opportunities posted by Gwinnett County, the City of Bridgeport, Hancock County Schools, and Early County Schools are soliciting broad food and nutrition support across dozens to over a thousand line items spanning proteins, grains, fresh produce, dairy, and condiments; none of these opportunities appear to feature frozen non-GMO Osceola oranges specifically or frozen citrus as a material component of the bid scope. The Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 purchase (due October 19, 2026) targets shelf-stable items including canned vegetables and sauces for the Department of Community Services. The City of Bridgeport (due June 30, 2026) and Early County Schools (due June 8, 2026) sought groceries and food products for school lunch programs with extensive fresh and frozen offerings, but citrus variety was not prominently itemized. Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) includes multiple apple and citrus varieties but does not isolate frozen Osceola oranges as a line item.

The code shows little recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. Georgia and Connecticut represent the primary states in the recent opportunities block, with school districts and county government departments as the dominant issuing bodies. The mismatch between the narrow product definition (frozen non-GMO Osceola oranges) and the broad commodity baskets these jurisdictions are actually procuring suggests that either the code is rarely used for this specific product in state and local markets or that frozen citrus is bundled under broader produce or frozen-food codes. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether state and local buying entities in target regions actually source frozen Osceola oranges as a standalone line item or whether demand routes through general produce or frozen-food frameworks instead.
