UNSPSC 50547017: Frozen non GMO jambolan

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO jambolan 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 50547017 Frozen non GMO jambolan, a Commodity code, covers specialty frozen fruit products for school nutrition and institutional food service. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little direct procurement activity for jambolan specifically; instead, solicitations focus on broad grocery and frozen food categories within school lunch and nutrition programs. School districts and city boards of education represent the primary issuing bodies, with occasional state-level food service procurement activity. The actual buying pattern under this code's recent opportunities emphasizes fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees that meet USDA nutrition standards, Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed products), whole grain requirements, and low-sodium specifications. Vendors must comply with HACCP plans, maintain 24/7 food recall accessibility, carry liability insurance (typically $1,000,000 per occurrence), satisfy E-Verify authorization, and deliver to multiple school sites on firm fixed pricing with transportation included and no fuel surcharges permitted.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities clusters in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Hancock County Board of Education), with additional activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative recent solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery procurement (BNB052266, IFB, June 30, 2026 due date) spanning 1,100+ line items with National School Lunch Program compliance; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB, June 26, 2026 due date) covering 200+ produce items; Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (PE64810NONST2026000000047, RFP, March 4, 2026 due date) for 30 school districts with approximately $4.4 million estimated annual spending in Area One; and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery procurement (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, 900+ line items, April 29, 2026 due date) serving 6,900 daily lunch and 900 breakfast participants. The code shows minimal direct activity specific to frozen jambolan, suggesting limited current demand or a classification mismatch with the actual procurement pattern.
