UNSPSC 50545605: Frozen non GMO natal queen pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO natal queen 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 50545605 Frozen non-GMO natal queen pineapple is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty frozen fruit products for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs operating under USDA child nutrition mandates. Recent solicitations show school districts and municipalities purchasing frozen and fresh produce as line items within broader grocery and food service contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys; the code appears tagged to school nutrition bids that encompass hundreds of food service items simultaneously. The primary issuing bodies are school districts—including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri)—and municipal procurement offices sourcing on behalf of education departments, such as the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) buying for the Bridgeport Board of Education. The code also appears in Georgia state procurement and cooperative purchasing arrangements like the GEC Buying Cooperative serving multiple districts. All solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, nutritional compliance with Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act standards, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and delivery Monday through Friday to school sites or central warehouses.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Connecticut, with representation also in Missouri. The Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens) with bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport solicited grocery items across over 1,100 line items including frozen products with bids due June 30, 2026; and the Douglas County School System coordinated a cooperative RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined (Area One approximately $4.4 million, Area Two approximately $1.1 million), proposals due March 4, 2026. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food products due June 8, 2026, and Rockwood R-VI School District solicited over 900 grocery line items with electronic bids due April 29, 2026. School districts typically award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis, retain the right to extend contracts annually for multiple years, and reserve the option to source alternative vendors if price escalations exceed defined thresholds (commonly 3 to 10 percent) or primary vendors cannot fulfill orders.
