UNSPSC 50522908: Non GMO khadrawi/khadrawy dates

The variety of non GMO dates known as non GMO khadrawi/khadrawy 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 50522908 Non GMO khadrawi/khadrawy dates is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect purchase of this specific commodity. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code involve general fresh produce, fruit, and vegetable procurement by school districts, county parks systems, and healthcare coalitions—spanning bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared fruit and vegetable snacks—rather than dates of any variety. State and local governments purchase specialized food items through school nutrition programs, regional park concession operations, and health system food services, typically via IFB, RFB, or ITN notice types with delivery commitments to multiple school sites, park facilities, or central warehouses. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments (Collier County, Hancock County), and specialized health coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with khadrawi/khadrawy dates specifically.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and State of Georgia statewide solicitation) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with one Florida opportunity (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with bids due June 26, 2026; Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Wisconsin and within the state, with bids due July 29, 2026; Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026; and Collier County's ITN 258360 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025. None of these solicitations explicitly reference dates or non-GMO commodity specifications matching the code's nominal scope.
