UNSPSC 50522300: Non GMO breadfruits

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO breadfruit. 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 50522300 Non-GMO breadfruits, a Class code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code based on recent solicitations. The code's taxonomy nominally covers non-GMO breadfruit procurement, but the recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for breadfruits or even close produce analogues. Instead, the block is dominated by school nutrition contracts for fresh produce staples—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and other conventional commodity items sourced for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, and Farm to School initiatives. The code appears to have been assigned to these opportunities by state and local procurement offices despite the mismatch between the code's specific commodity focus and the broad, conventional produce buys actually occurring.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida dominate recent activity, with repeat solicitations from Madison Metropolitan School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, and Douglas County School System, among others. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 and weekly usage of 70–90 cases, and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026. School districts soliciting under this code typically use RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notice types; evaluate on cost, vendor qualifications, product quality, past performance, and compliance with Buy American provisions; and require HACCP plans, liability insurance, E-Verify authorization, and traceability documentation. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida. The code shows little relevant recent activity and the assignment mismatch suggests potential data-quality issues in state and local procurement tagging systems.
