UNSPSC 50547031: Frozen non GMO rowanberries

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO rowanberries 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 50547031 Frozen non-GMO rowanberries, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code — the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' grocery-items solicitation (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) — encompasses over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, beverages, and meat products for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department. Frozen rowanberries represent a specialty item within a vastly broader grocery procurement, not the primary or representative focus. The code shows no evidence of active, standalone sourcing for frozen non-GMO rowanberries at the state or local level during the recent period.

The broader food-procurement activity in the source—dominated by school-nutrition program contracts from school districts and boards of education across Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport)—centers on fresh produce, eggs, staple grocery items, and main-line food distribution to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program mandates. These solicitations, issued as RFPs and IFBs with response dates between February and June 2026, reflect sustained demand for commodity food sourcing under Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges. However, frozen specialty berries such as rowanberries do not appear among the line items or scope descriptions in any of these recent opportunities. If frozen non-GMO rowanberries are relevant to your firm's portfolio, this code warrants continuous monitoring rather than immediate pursuit; current activity does not support near-term deal flow.
