UNSPSC 50522404: Non GMO burtons favorite cherimoyas

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO burtons favorite 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 50522404 Non GMO burtons favorite cherimoyas, a Commodity code, covers fresh fruit and produce sourcing for state and local food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and recreational facility concessions. The recent solicitations show active procurement of fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty produce items by county school systems, county parks departments, and healthcare coalitions—with school districts dominating the activity. Scope spans individual produce lines (petite bananas by specific case count and ripeness stage), bulk fresh fruits and vegetables for school meal programs, local and regional sourcing requirements, ready-to-eat prepared produce for USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program compliance, and produce delivery with traceability documentation by farm of origin. Vendors compete on cost, quality, compliance with food safety standards (HACCP plans required), delivery logistics to multiple school or facility locations, and adherence to Buy American provisions where applicable. Many solicitations impose geographic sourcing preferences—typically within 400 miles or state-sourced produce—and offer evaluation point premiums for diverse-owned business certifications or local-vendor status.

School districts in Georgia and Wisconsin drive recent activity under this code. Madison Metropolitan School District has posted multiple RFBs for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, estimated annual value $78,000, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 servings weekly for elementary students, sourced within Wisconsin and 400 miles, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits across three school locations (due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System (Georgia) released RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026, anticipated award July 20, 2026); and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line food bids including 300+ produce items (due June 8, 2026).
