UNSPSC 50545701: Frozen non GMO black kat plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO black kat plucot 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 50545701 Frozen non-GMO black kat plucot is a Commodity code that describes specialized frozen fruit procurement, though state and local governments buying under this code are actually soliciting broad-based grocery and food-service supplies for school nutrition programs and institutional kitchens. The recent opportunities show school districts and municipalities purchasing across comprehensive frozen and fresh produce catalogs, processed grocery items, meats, dairy, and prepared foods rather than narrowly sourcing individual frozen fruit SKUs. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System—alongside one state-level procurement (State of Georgia) and one city department (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases acting on behalf of the school board). School nutrition programs dominate this code's activity, with contracts supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across multiple districts and geographies.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and surrounding states, with notable activity from Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County in Georgia; Bridgeport, Connecticut; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; and a statewide Georgia procurement. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's June 30, 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (frozen products, vegetables, fruits, meats, dairy, condiments) with strict Buy American provisions (51% domestic agricultural ingredients) and Net 45 payment terms; Hancock County Board of Education's June 26, 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items and three delivery locations; and Douglas County School System's February 18, 2026 RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with an estimated $4.4 million spend for Area One. All contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, require firm pricing throughout the term, mandate HACCP plans and 24/7 recall accessibility, and impose Buy American and USDA nutrition-standard compliance. Insurance minimums typically range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability coverage, and awards frequently permit multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
