UNSPSC 50545602: Frozen non GMO golden pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO golden pineapple 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 50545602 Frozen non-GMO golden pineapple (Commodity) does not surface relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The nine opportunities posted between January and June 2026 and tagged with or near this code span broad grocery and food-service procurement by school districts, county education systems, and municipalities — including the City of Bridgeport's 1,100-line-item grocery bid, Hancock County Board of Education's 200+ fresh-produce line items, and Rockwood School District's 900+ grocery items. None of these solicitations identify frozen non-GMO golden pineapple as a line item, set-aside category, or performance requirement. The code appears to have been applied to general food-service contracts by virtue of their broad commodity scope rather than specific demand for this product variant. State and local school nutrition programs do purchase frozen fruit as part of meal compliance with Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards and USDA commodity programs, but the recent record does not isolate frozen pineapple—much less the non-GMO or golden variety—as a standalone procurement driver or frequently bid item.

Activity clusters heavily in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Decatur City Schools, Early County) and secondary presence in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Issuing bodies are exclusively K–12 school districts and their administrative purchasing offices, with contract periods running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, firm pricing required, Buy American domestic-content requirements at 51 percent minimum, HACCP and food-recall compliance, and delivery to multiple school sites. Representative bids include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items (due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two Georgia areas (due March 4, 2026). The mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual procurement scope signals that this Commodity code has limited visibility or relevance in current state and local buying patterns.
