UNSPSC 50546008: Frozen non GMO wainwright pomelo

The variety of non GMO pomelos known as non GMO wainwright 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 50546008 Frozen non-GMO wainwright pomelo is a Commodity code nominally naming a single frozen fruit product, but recent state and local opportunities reveal little activity aligned with this specific item. The source contains no recent school district, municipal, county, or state procurement solicitations for frozen pomelos or equivalent specialty frozen fruit products. The code shows no relevant recent activity.

The recent opportunities posted under UNSPSC 50546008 actually concern broad grocery and food-service procurement for school nutrition programs — including fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, proteins, and pantry staples sourced through competitive bidding by school districts and state education agencies. These solicitations name the code but seek general food-service supply contracts spanning hundreds of line items across multiple product categories rather than the single frozen pomelo product the code nominally describes. This mismatch between code assignment and actual scope suggests either miscoding at the issuing body, or use of the code as a catch-all for frozen and specialty produce categories that do not map neatly to individual commodity codes. Vendors pursuing food-service contracts should treat the code as a classification signal rather than a scope descriptor and review the full RFP or IFB to understand what is actually being procured.
