UNSPSC 50547030: Frozen non GMO roselle

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO roselle 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 50547030 Frozen non-GMO roselle is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity focused on school nutrition programs and institutional food service, where recent solicitations tag it alongside broader grocery and produce procurements that span fresh, frozen, and processed items for child nutrition services. The code sits at the granular product level—naming a single frozen ingredient category—but recent state and local opportunities show that purchasing agencies actually acquire frozen and fresh produce as part of comprehensive food-service contracts that encompass hundreds of line items spanning proteins, grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and supplies. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple Georgia counties and independent districts (Douglas County Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Schools), the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and the City of Bridgeport in Connecticut all conducting active procurements under National School Lunch Program authority. A single cooperative vehicle—the GEC Buying Cooperative operating through Douglas County Schools—appears once, procuring on behalf of 30 participating districts across two Georgia areas. The code shows little standalone visibility in recent postings; frozen non-GMO roselle does not surface as a line item or specification in any of the summarized opportunities, though the code may nest within broader frozen-produce or frozen-vegetable categories in those contracts.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (Douglas County, Hancock County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, Early County) with secondary activity in Missouri (Rockwood Schools), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and broader state-level buys (State of Georgia). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, bids due June 26, 2026) spanning 200+ produce line items for the 2026-27 school year; City of Bridgeport's grocery-items solicitation (BNB052266, bids due June 30, 2026) covering 1,100+ line items with Buy American requirements for school food service; Early County Schools' line-by-line food and non-food bid (PE55045NONST2027000000006, bids due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products; and the GEC Buying Cooperative's fresh-produce RFP serving 30 districts (PE64810NONST2026000000047, proposals due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. All require HACCP plans, USDA compliance including Buy American domestic-content provisions, firm pricing for contract terms, and delivery Monday through Friday to central warehouses or individual school sites.
