UNSPSC 50545202: Frozen non GMO blue passion flower

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO blue passion flower 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 50545202 Frozen non-GMO blue passion flower is a Commodity code that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The code's specific product scope—a single frozen specialty botanical item—does not match what school districts, county governments, and city departments are actually buying under this code classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly represent broad grocery and produce procurement for school nutrition programs, not specialty frozen botanicals; they include general frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, and condiments supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across multiple jurisdictions.

State and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent solicitations for frozen non-GMO blue passion flower or comparable specialty frozen produce items. The nine most recent opportunities—spanning June 2026 back to January 2026—originate from school districts and city school systems in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Decatur Public Schools), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and each solicits general grocery or produce categories rather than specialty items. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for grocery items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items for school food service, Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ produce line items, and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to its stated commodity and warrants close review of actual usage patterns before pursuit.
