UNSPSC 50522910: Non GMO khustawi dates

The variety of non GMO dates known as non GMO khustawi 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 50522910 Non GMO khustawi dates, a Commodity code, does not see meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations requesting khustawi dates or non-GMO date products of any kind. The one opportunity that references dates at all—a food-services concession bid from Collier County Board of County Commissioners—does not specify dates as a line item and does not tag them to this code. State and local procurement under this code shows no current market signal.

The recent-opportunities dataset instead shows heavy activity in fresh produce procurement spanning fruits, vegetables, and ready-to-eat snacks across school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county parks and recreation (Collier County), health-care organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agencies (State of Georgia). Geographic concentration appears in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, State of Georgia statewide) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with activity spanning June through August 2026. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items covering apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract, sealed bids due June 26, 2026). The code's nominal scope—non-GMO khustawi dates—does not match the actual buying activity recorded, indicating either misclassification at source or dormant category status in state and local procurement right now.
