UNSPSC 50547016: Frozen non GMO jackfruit

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO jackfruit 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 50547016 Frozen non-GMO jackfruit, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity that maps to its narrow product scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen jackfruit specifically; instead, it captures school nutrition bids issued by Georgia school districts, Missouri school districts, Connecticut municipalities, and cooperative purchasing groups for broad grocery and produce categories that may tangentially include frozen fruit but are not positioned around jackfruit as a line item or category emphasis. The code's abstract designation does not align with the concrete work being solicited under it in current state and local RFPs and IFBs.

School districts and county boards of education dominate recent activity across the broader frozen and fresh produce space—Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System have all issued solicitations in the past six months—but none explicitly call for frozen jackfruit as a distinct commodity. The geographic concentration is in Georgia and adjacent states, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's June 30, 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (electronic submission through OpenGov); Hancock County Board of Education's June 26, 2026 IFB for over 200 fresh produce items across multiple apple and fruit varieties; and Douglas County School System's February 4, 2026 RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with an estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million combined. The code shows little current procurement relevance to vendors seeking frozen jackfruit opportunities in state and local markets.
