UNSPSC 50546003: Frozen non GMO liang ping yau pomelo

The variety of non GMO pomelos known as non GMO liang ping yau pomelo 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 50546003 Frozen non GMO liang ping yau pomelo is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure general grocery and food-service items to support school nutrition programs, senior services, and other public meal operations. Recent solicitations under this code reveal that buying activity focuses on broad-based food procurement rather than the specific frozen fruit item the code nominally names — state and local agencies are sourcing shelf-stable foods, fresh produce, frozen products, dairy, proteins, and condiments in bulk quantities to meet National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements and compliance with nutrition standards including the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act and USDA whole-grain and low-sodium specifications. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (State of Georgia), and municipal purchasing offices acting on behalf of education or senior services divisions. Solicitations are predominantly IFB (Invitation for Bid) or informal written quote formats (IWQ) with firm fixed pricing, Buy American provision compliance, HACCP plan requirements, E-Verify verification, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or multiple vendors as deemed advantageous.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Gwinnett County (Georgia) issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a due date of October 19, 2026; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) posted an RFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items with a due date of June 30, 2026, subject to Buy American provisions and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce with a due date of June 26, 2026 and delivery to three school locations; and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies with a due date of June 8, 2026. All contracts include mandatory compliance with federal nutrition standards, recall procedures, liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and transportation to designated delivery sites on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges.
