UNSPSC 50545203: Frozen non GMO crackerjack passion fruit

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO crackerjack 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 50545203 Frozen non GMO crackerjack passion fruit (Commodity) does not match the scope of recent state and local contract opportunities under this code. The code nominally names a highly specific frozen fruit product, but the recent solicitations consistently procure broad-based grocery and food-service items for school nutrition programs—fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, snacks, and household supplies spanning hundreds of line items per contract. The mismatch between the code's narrow product name and the wide scope of actual state and local purchasing suggests either a cataloging error in the UNSPSC tagging or that the code is rarely applied to its intended commodity in practice.

State and local school districts and education boards dominate the issuing bodies in the recent opportunities, with secondary activity from city purchasing departments serving school nutrition programs. The geographic spread is concentrated in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) and includes activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 response date, the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with a May 15, 2026 due date, and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts with a March 4, 2026 submission deadline and approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spending across both geographic areas. All school nutrition contracts require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, firm fixed pricing with limited escalation provisions tied to documented market data, delivery to multiple school sites, and Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms.
