UNSPSC 50545208: Frozen non GMO sweet granadilla passion fruit

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO sweet 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 50545208 Frozen non GMO sweet graladilla passion fruit is a Commodity code covering specialty frozen fruit products, but state and local procurement under this code shows minimal recent activity. The recent solicitations posted from May through October 2026 frame food procurement far more broadly: state agencies, school districts, and county governments are buying shelf-stable canned goods, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, baked goods, and miscellaneous food-service supplies in bulk under the National School Lunch Program and general nutrition services. While the code nominally names a single frozen exotic fruit, the issuing bodies soliciting for food items are aggregating dozens or hundreds of line items across multiple commodity families in a single IFB or RFQ, making it unlikely that frozen passion fruit alone would be posted under this code or represent a material procurement category.

The recent opportunities document school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and the State of Georgia as the active buyers. Geographic spread centers on Georgia and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 (informal written quotes, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB for the 2026–27 school year (sealed bids due June 26, 2026); and Bridgeport Board of Education's GROCERY ITEMS electronic bid (due June 30, 2026) covering over 1,100 line items subject to Buy American requirements and National School Lunch Program compliance. The code itself shows little relevant recent state and local activity; procurement interest in this commodity appears subsumed within broader food-supply contracts that aggregate multiple product families rather than isolate specialty frozen fruit.
