UNSPSC 50547001: Frozen non GMO akee

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO akee 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 50547001 Frozen non-GMO akee is a Commodity code that shows no material recent activity under state and local procurement. The ten recent solicitations tagged with this code all concern school nutrition programs and general grocery procurement for cafeteria operations — items including fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, breads, and condiments — none of which match frozen non-GMO akee as a distinct product line. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are applying this specialized-product code to broader food-service categories without precision. Because the code does not surface relevant recent activity, it cannot support a pursue decision.

No state and local opportunities specifically soliciting frozen non-GMO akee appear in the recent posting history. The school districts and municipal purchasing offices now active in the food-service space — including the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia — are buying bulk commodity groceries and produce through IFBs and RFPs with award timelines spanning February through June 2026. None of these solicitations name or isolate frozen non-GMO akee as a line item or class of goods. The code warrants monitoring if procurement activity in specialty tropical or imported frozen foods emerges, but current state and local market signals do not support active pursuit.
