UNSPSC 50522405: Non GMO jete cherimoyas

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO jete 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 50522405 Non GMO jete cherimoyas is a Commodity code that sees limited match between its abstract title and the actual work state and local governments are currently procuring under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code overwhelmingly reflect school nutrition programs sourcing fresh produce for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, and farm-to-school initiatives—spanning apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, citrus, peppers, eggs, and dozens of other commodity fruits and vegetables. Only one solicitation references bananas specifically; none reference cherimoyas, GMO status, or the "jete" variety. The issuing bodies are almost exclusively school districts and boards of education across the Southeast and Texas—Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). A single state-level opportunity from Georgia (Food, Supplies, and Other Kitchen Products) appears with minimal detail. The code shows no recent activity from county governments, municipalities, transit authorities, or other state and local jurisdictions outside K–12 education.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas school districts procuring institutional fresh produce. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 estimated annual value) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 servings weekly from local sources, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 produce line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026); Muscogee County School District ITB 26-017 for approximately 60 produce items indexed to USDA Market News pricing (due April 27, 2026); McAllen Independent School District RFP 2026-1029 for comprehensive fresh produce across 31 campuses (proposals due March 6, 2026, extended by addendum); and Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages emphasizing Good Food Purchasing Program compliance and local sourcing (due March 11, 2026). Contracts typically run July through June on annual terms, include weekly or multiple-weekly delivery to school sites, and require HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, liability insurance, and adherence to USDA nutrition standards. The code shows active procurement but poor taxonomy alignment; business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing offices before pursuing opportunities, as the actual commodity being bought does not consistently match the code's nominal scope.
