UNSPSC 50545105: Frozen non GMO solo papayas

The variety of non GMO papayas known as non GMO solo papayas 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 50545105 Frozen non-GMO solo papayas (Commodity) sees minimal direct procurement activity in the state and local market. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting frozen papayas or closely related papaya products as a line item or primary scope. School districts and local agencies post produce and grocery solicitations frequently under this code family, but the offerings center on fresh and frozen produce broadly, with papayas appearing only as incidental items within large multi-line fresh produce specifications rather than as dedicated procurement categories.

School nutrition programs represent the primary buying cohort under this broader produce code family, including the Hancock County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases in Connecticut. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and the Southeast, with secondary momentum in Connecticut and Missouri. The Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) lists papayas among over 200 fresh produce line items alongside specialty fruits such as kiwis, mangos, and starfruit, but no frozen-papaya-specific volume or pricing appears. The Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for fresh produce (due April 23, 2026) similarly treat papayas as part of commodity bundles rather than targeted purchases. State and local demand under this specific commodity code—frozen non-GMO solo papayas—does not surface as a standalone or recurring line item in recent postings, and pursuit depends on engagement through commodity brokers or multi-line produce vendors supplying the larger school nutrition solicitations.
