UNSPSC 50546802: Frozen non GMO seedless sugar apple

The variety of non GMO sugar apples known as non GMO seedless 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 50546802 Frozen non GMO seedless sugar apple is a Commodity code that describes a single product line — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code show little activity aligned with that specific item. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts, counties, and cities procuring comprehensive grocery and food-service packages for child nutrition programs, not frozen specialty fruit. The City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spans over 1,100 line items including breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meats for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services. Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) lists over 200 produce items but focuses on common varieties — apples (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz), berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, and citrus — with no mention of specialty frozen sugar apples. Early County Schools and Rockwood R-VI School District, among others, solicited similarly broad grocery and produce packages rather than specialty frozen fruit.

The issuing bodies are school districts and municipal food authorities across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. The geographic concentration spans Georgia (Douglas County Schools, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, Decatur City Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), with secondary activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative opportunities include the Douglas County Schools' RFP for fresh produce and eggs (PE64810NONST2026000000047, posted February 4, 2026, estimated annual spend of $5.5 million across 30 districts) and Rockwood R-VI's solicitation for over 900 grocery line items (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026). All solicitations require Buy American compliance (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed goods), HACCP plans, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and delivery to multiple school sites. The code shows no recent procurement activity specifically targeting frozen non-GMO seedless sugar apples as a standalone item or category.
