UNSPSC 50546502: Frozen non GMO black sapotes

The variety of non GMO sapotes known as non GMO black sapotes 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 50546502 Frozen non-GMO black sapotes is a Commodity code that represents a niche agricultural product with minimal recent procurement activity in state and local government. The code's nominal scope—frozen, non-GMO black sapotes—does not align with current state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities block contains nine school district and municipal grocery and produce procurements spanning late January through late June 2026, but none specifically name frozen non-GMO black sapotes or similar specialty tropical fruits as line items. The broader solicitations span fresh produce procurement (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, melons), frozen foods and grocery items (entrees, snacks, dairy, condiments, prepared meals), and general school nutrition supplies across multiple categories; the code's specific commodity does not appear in any of the itemized scopes or representative line items from these opportunities.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under school nutrition programs dominate the recent activity—the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, and Early County Schools are among the repeat buyers. Georgia school districts account for five of the nine recent opportunities (Hancock County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County twice, Early County), with additional activity from Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood), and a statewide Georgia procurement from the Department of Nutrition. Representative recent procurements include the City of Bridgeport's grocery items bid (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) spanning 1,100+ line items with National School Lunch Program compliance, and Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (SN002-2027, IFB, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ fresh produce items including apples, berries, and specialty items such as kiwis, mangos, and papayas. The code shows little relevant recent activity; frozen non-GMO black sapotes do not appear in the contemporary state and local school nutrition procurement landscape tracked in these opportunities.
