UNSPSC 50545204: Frozen non GMO giant granadilla passion fruit

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO giant granadilla 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 50545204 Frozen non-GMO giant granadilla passion fruit is a Commodity code reflecting highly specialized produce procurement; however, the recent state and local opportunities on record show no direct solicitation for this specific item. Instead, the code's recent activity record contains bids for broad food and produce categories—shelf-stable grocery items, fresh produce assortments, school lunch program staples, and kitchen supplies—issued by school districts, county governments, and state agencies. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities on record suggests the code carries minimal current activity relevant to frozen specialty fruit sourcing.
