UNSPSC 50546801: Frozen non GMO kampong mauve sugar apple

The variety of non GMO sugar apples known as non GMO kampong mauve sugar apple 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 50546801 Frozen non-GMO kampong mauve sugar apple is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of broad food-service products — shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, and proteins — rather than the narrow specialty fruit the code name suggests. School districts and county governments are the primary buyers, soliciting food supplies to support the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and senior services, with contracts typically covering 12-month periods at firm-fixed pricing. The scope of work spans line-by-line competitive bidding for hundreds of food items per solicitation, including meats, poultry, seafood, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments, dairy, and paper products, with vendors required to meet USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed goods), whole-grain and nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, HACCP food-safety plans, E-Verify compliance, and general liability insurance. Delivery requirements are stringent: Monday-through-Friday windows, temperature control for refrigerated items, pallet standards, and rapid turnaround (within 24 to 72 hours in some cases). Awards go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, often with the option for the jurisdiction to split awards across multiple vendors or extend for additional years.
