UNSPSC 50545842: Frozen non GMO jamaican plum

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO jamaican plum that have 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 50545842 Frozen non-GMO Jamaican plum, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct alignment with recent state and local school nutrition procurement. The recent opportunities posted under or near this code overwhelmingly reflect broad-based grocery and fresh produce procurement for school food service programs — spanning frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous food items — rather than the specific commodity of frozen Jamaican plums. School districts and school nutrition authorities represent the primary issuing bodies, supplemented by municipal school systems and cooperative purchasing consortiums. While the code's nominal scope names a single frozen fruit product, the actual work being solicited under comparable UNSPSC codes reflects comprehensive food service supply contracts that bundle hundreds of line items across multiple product categories to support National School Lunch Programs and School Breakfast Programs.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Missouri and activity spanning multiple states through cooperative purchasing vehicles. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, issued Solicitation BNB052266 in June 2026 seeking grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items with a due date of June 30, 2026; the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB in April 2026 for frozen foods and grocery items with responses due May 15, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 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 and a proposal deadline of March 4, 2026. The code itself shows no recent standalone opportunities specifically for frozen Jamaican plums as a line item; pursuit would require bidding within larger multi-category grocery or produce contracts where the commodity might appear as one line item among hundreds.
