UNSPSC 50547028: Frozen non GMO rambutan

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO rambutan 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 50547028 Frozen non-GMO rambutan, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The single solicitation opportunities tied to this code across the most recent six months are school district and municipal grocery and food-service procurements that span hundreds of line items across frozen and fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, and prepared foods—but none of the opportunities reviewed name rambutans or specialty tropical frozen fruits as discrete line items or requisitioned products. The City of Bridgeport's BNB052266 (IFB, due June 30, 2026) encompasses over 1,100 grocery line items for the Board of Education; Hancock County Schools' IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) requests fresh produce across apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and citrus; and Rockwood R-VI's procurement lists over 900 line items including snacks, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and prepared entrees. None of these opportunities reveal demand for frozen rambutan specifically, suggesting the code either misclassifies activity in the state and local procurement space or captures a product line for which public-sector nutrition programs generate minimal or no solicitation volume at present.

State and local school nutrition programs and municipal food services dominate the recent opportunities coded to this family, with issuing bodies concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, Decatur City Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI). The mix spans independent school districts, county school boards, municipal education departments, and cooperative purchasing consortia such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. All recent opportunities emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, delivery Monday through Friday to school sites or central warehouses, and compliance with federal nutrition standards under the National School Lunch Program and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. If frozen rambutan demand exists in state and local procurement, it either falls outside the nutrition-program focus that dominates this code's recent posting activity or is bundled into broader frozen-fruit or specialty-produce line items without discrete identification.
