UNSPSC 50545201: Frozen non GMO banana passion fruit

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO banana passion fruit 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 50545201 Frozen non-GMO banana passion fruit is a Commodity code that reflects a narrow product line, yet recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct demand for this specific frozen specialty fruit. The code appears when school districts and county agencies purchase fresh produce and frozen food products through broad food-service contracts, but the represented opportunities span dozens or hundreds of line items—fresh apples, berries, root vegetables, canned proteins, pantry staples, and dairy—with frozen banana passion fruit either absent or grouped as a subordinate specialty item within a larger procurement. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state agencies (State of Georgia). These entities solicit food contracts to support the National School Lunch Program, school breakfast programs, and senior services; contracts are typically awarded on a line-by-line or split-award basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with firm pricing over one-year terms (July through June) and options to extend.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (bid opening June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruits (mangos, papayas, kiwis) with delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. Early County Schools issued a line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items across meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains for the 2026-27 school year. Gwinnett County issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products—peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables—for the Department of Community Services. Bridgeport issued an RFQ for grocery items (due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items including frozen products, with strict Buy American provisions (51% domestic agricultural ingredients) and compliance with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. No solicitation identified frozen banana passion fruit as a standalone or primary line item; the code shows limited direct recent activity in state and local procurement at the commodity level.
