UNSPSC 50522602: Non GMO fingered citrons

The variety of non GMO citrons known as non GMO fingered citrons. 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 50522602 Non GMO fingered citrons is a Commodity code that does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The most-recent opportunities under this code cover general school-district food and produce sourcing (petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, fresh produce for nutrition programs, food service concessions at county parks, and healthcare-coalition produce procurement), not the specialized agricultural commodity named in the code. When a recent opportunity is plainly unrelated to the code's nominal scope—the Commodity title names a specific, narrowly defined agricultural product—the mismatch signals that either the posting organization applied an incorrect code or the code itself is not actively used for its named product class in state and local procurement today.

The issuing bodies in the recent records span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education in Georgia), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agencies (State of Georgia). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's ITN for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, weekly usage 70–90 cases, estimated annual value $78,000), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for the 2026–27 school year (over 200 line items, sealed bids due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026), and Collier County's ITN for food concessions at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025). The code shows little relevant recent activity for non-GMO fingered citrons specifically; the postings under this code tag general produce and food-service procurement instead.
