UNSPSC 50547029: Frozen non GMO rose apples

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO rose apples that have 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 50547029 Frozen non-GMO rose apples (Commodity) shows no recent state or local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source records nine recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code, but none specifically solicit frozen rose apples or any frozen apple product—all are broad grocery, fresh produce, or food supply contracts for school nutrition programs and related food service operations. The solicitations span frozen and fresh produce categories, staple grocery items, dairy, meats, grains, and food service supplies; frozen rose apples do not appear as a line item in any of the nine opportunities reviewed.

Activity concentrates in Georgia school districts and one Connecticut municipal school system, with secondary activity in Missouri. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce on June 10, 2026 (due June 26), encompassing over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables—but specifying fresh, not frozen, products. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued Bid 26-34 on March 22, 2026 (due April 23) for 72 fresh produce items. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) solicited grocery items for the Board of Education on June 30, 2026, spanning 1,100+ line items but with no frozen-rose-apple specification. The Douglas County School System coordinated a GEC Buying Cooperative RFP (issued February 4, 2026, due March 4) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts, with estimated Area One spending of $4.4 million and Area Two of $1.1 million. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with one city school system and one state procurement office represented. The code appears dormant for frozen specialty-apple procurement at the state and local level; frozen rose apples do not surface as a distinct procurement line in any recent opportunity.
