UNSPSC 50522403: Non GMO burtons cherimoyas

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO burtons cherimoya. 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 50522403 Non GMO burtons cherimoyas is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific fruit varietal, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect focused demand for cherimoyas. Instead, the tagged opportunities span a broad range of fresh produce procurement — bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, apples, berries, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items — indicating that state and local agencies are using this code as a catch-all for produce sourcing rather than as a precise commodity classifier. School districts, county parks and recreation departments, and healthcare coalitions are the primary issuing bodies driving activity, with individual procurement cycles ranging from single-vendor food-service concession awards to competitive line-item bidding on dozens of produce SKUs. When school districts solicit produce, they weight cost heavily (typically 40 percent of evaluation), emphasize local and domestic sourcing preferences (geographic caps of 400 miles appear in multiple recent bids), and increasingly condition awards on grant funding approval or set compliance with USDA nutrition standards and whole-grain requirements.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, and State of Georgia procurement), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), with produce delivery windows typically tied to school meal service calendars (September through June for most K–12 districts, with supplemental summer programs). Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's bid for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple apple, berry, vegetable, and citrus varieties for the 2026–27 school year (sealed bids due June 26, 2026). The Bartow County School System is pursuing local fresh fruits and vegetables under RFP 10-2026-019 (due June 22, 2026) requiring sourcing within 400 miles, while Collier County Parks and Recreation issued an Invitation to Negotiate (due March 6, 2025) for food concession services at regional parks. Insurance requirements, HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and affirmative-action compliance are standard across most school district opportunities.
