UNSPSC 50545604: Frozen non GMO kona sugarloaf pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO kona sugarloaf 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 50545604 Frozen non-GMO Kona sugarloaf pineapple, a Commodity code, does not support recent state and local procurement activity at the specific product level. The nine most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span school nutrition programs and district food service—Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System—but they solicit broadly across produce, frozen goods, dairy, meat, grains, and paper supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. None of the opportunities name frozen non-GMO Kona sugarloaf pineapple as a line item or distinct product specification; the pineapple variant does not appear in any recent solicitation summary.

State and local procurement offices in Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut have posted the most recent activity. Geographic concentration skews to Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County systems) and includes one Missouri school district (Rockwood R-VI) and one Connecticut city (Bridgeport). The recent solicitations emphasize Buy American domestic-sourcing requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed goods), whole grain and low-sodium specifications, HACCP food-safety plans, firm pricing with limited escalation provisions, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed schedules. IFB and RFP notice types dominate, with response dates ranging from February through July 2026. No opportunities specifically source frozen non-GMO Kona sugarloaf pineapple, suggesting the code either lacks recent state and local demand at the commodity level or has been mistagged in the available data.
