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 (Commodity) appears in state and local school nutrition procurement records, but the recent opportunities do not align with the code's nominal scope. The records show instead that school districts and county boards of education are actively soliciting fresh produce—bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, citrus, potatoes, and eggs—for child nutrition programs including the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. While the code nominally describes a single specialty fruit variety, the actual buying activity spans comprehensive multi-item produce supply contracts in which bananas and generic fresh fruits dominate line-item volume and estimated annual values often exceed $1 million per district or cooperative.

School districts and county boards of education in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin dominate the recent activity, with the Douglas County School System procuring through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 districts across two geographic areas (estimated annual spend approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two). Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued separate RFBs for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within Wisconsin (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, contingent on federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant approval). Multiple Georgia school districts—Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Glynn County Board of Education—issued competitive IFBs and RFPs between late February and early July 2026 for fresh produce and food items with delivery to 13 to 60 school sites and contract terms running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Texas districts including McAllen Independent School District and Austin Independent School District solicited produce supply under RFPs with emphasis on locally sourced or domestic agricultural products and Good Food Purchasing Program alignment. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) solicited specialty fresh produce for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing under RFP 26039RFPDST (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000, federally funded). The code shows little relevant recent activity specifically for non-GMO burtons cherimoyas as a standalone commodity; procurement under this code does not support a pursuit strategy focused on the nominal product line.
