UNSPSC 50545606: Frozen non GMO pernambuco pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO pernambuco 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 50545606 Frozen non-GMO Pernambuco pineapple is a Commodity code that nominally designates a single frozen fruit product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct relevance to the specific commodity named. The recent opportunities posted under this code span broad grocery and food-service procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional foodservice, encompassing hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared foods — not frozen pineapple specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), a municipal purchasing office (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and a state agency (State of Georgia). The work being solicited is standardized food procurement for National School Lunch Program compliance, with vendors required to meet Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic content), HACCP food safety plans, nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, firm pricing for contract terms, and liability insurance in the $500,000 to $2,000,000 range.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, where five recent school-district solicitations posted between February and June 2026. Connecticut and Missouri each show one recent solicitation. State of Georgia also posted a broad food-supplies procurement (May 2026) without detailed scope disclosure. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issuing an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with electronic bids due June 30, 2026 through OpenGov e-Procurement Portal, requiring 51% domestic content, blind product testing, and delivery to a central warehouse and school sites Monday through Friday; Hancock County Board of Education issuing IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, delivery to three schools, and firm pricing for the July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term; and Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts in two geographic areas, with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending, unit pricing capped at USDA terminal market rates, and sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. The code shows no recent activity specifically targeting frozen pineapple procurement; mismatch between the commodity name and actual buying activity suggests limited pursuit opportunity under this code designation.
