UNSPSC 50545723: Frozen non GMO sweet geisha plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO sweet geisha 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 50545723 Frozen non GMO sweet geisha plucot is a Commodity code that reflects state and local procurement of generic frozen fruit and specialty produce items, though recent solicitations show the code is being applied to much broader food-service categories than the specific product name suggests. State and local buyers under this code include school districts (the most frequent issuing body), county governments, municipal purchasing departments, and state agencies. The actual work being solicited spans fresh produce, frozen products, shelf-stable canned and packaged foods, dairy, proteins, condiments, and non-food kitchen and cleaning supplies in support of school meal programs (National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program) and county senior services. Vendors are required to meet Buy American domestic-content thresholds (typically 51 percent for processed products), comply with nutrition standards including the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, maintain HACCP food-safety plans, carry liability insurance, and demonstrate food-recall procedures and biosecurity protocols. Delivery specifications are stringent—most contracts require Monday-through-Friday delivery within narrow time windows, temperature control where applicable, and rotation by sell-by date; pricing is typically firm fixed with no separate fuel surcharges permitted.

The most recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026-27 school year with a June 26, 2026 response date; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies with a June 8, 2026 response date; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) sought bids for 1,100+ line items of grocery items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education with a June 30, 2026 response date; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services with a response date of October 19, 2026.
