UNSPSC 50545038: Frozen non GMO sanguine oranges

The variety of non GMO oranges known as non GMO sanguine 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 50545038 Frozen non-GMO sanguine oranges is a Commodity code that does not see active procurement solicitation in recent state and local activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code—Gwinnett County's food-items purchase (October 2026), Bridgeport's grocery-items bid (June 2026), and Hancock County's fresh-produce bid (June 2026)—focus on shelf-stable pantry goods, canned proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and fresh produce across apples, berries, leafy greens, and root vegetables. None of the solicitations name frozen citrus or sanguine oranges as line items or included products. The code assignment appears to be a taxonomy mismatch; the actual procurement activity involves broad food-service supply for school nutrition programs, senior services, and public institutions, not specialty frozen citrus.

State and local school districts and county agencies are the primary issuing bodies under this code assignment, including Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the City of Bridgeport (for the Board of Education), Hancock County Board of Education, and Early County Board of Education. Geography spans Georgia (Gwinnett, Hancock, Early Counties) and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Most opportunities are informal written quotes or sealed IFBs with response dates between June and October 2026, all requiring domestic sourcing compliance, HACCP documentation, and delivery to school or senior-service locations. Because the code shows no actual procurement demand for frozen non-GMO sanguine oranges and the tagged opportunities are unrelated to the code's nominal scope, the code warrants a skip unless direct market intelligence suggests dormant institutional citrus supply relationships.
