UNSPSC 50522903: Non GMO deglet noor dates

The variety of non GMO dates known as non GMO deglet noor dates. 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 50522903 Non GMO deglet noor dates is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope names a specific date variety, yet the most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities block contains no solicitations for deglet noor dates or any date products. The recent postings instead document school district food service procurement for fresh produce categories — bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, and eggs — under related produce codes. One opportunity (Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162, posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026) solicits petite bananas at $78,000 annual value; another (Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST, April 2026) requests specialty fruits and vegetables for a federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at $600,000 estimated annual budget. These are standard school nutrition procurement vehicles, not date-specific sourcing.

School districts across Georgia, Florida, and Texas dominate the recent activity, along with one cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). The geographic spread centers on Georgia (Douglas County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, Bartow County, Early County) with secondary activity in Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD) and Florida (Hillsborough County). None of the recent opportunities name deglet noor dates or specialty date products; all posted solicitations target fresh fruits and vegetables for school meal programs under RFP, RFQ, and IFB notice types with response dates between February and July 2026. The absence of date-specific procurement under this code suggests either limited state and local demand for deglet noor dates or systematic tagging mismatches in the opportunity database.
