UNSPSC 50522911: Non GMO khidri dates

The variety of non GMO dates known as non GMO khidri 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 50522911 Non GMO khidri dates is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities block shows no solicitations actually purchasing dates — GMO or otherwise. The most recent opportunities posted under this code span fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, regional park concessions, healthcare coalition food service, and county school systems, with active bids covering petite bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root crops, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, and tomatoes. None of the posted opportunities name dates of any variety as a line item or scope element.

The issuing bodies across the recent block are school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county park systems (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). The geographic spread includes Wisconsin, Georgia, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas with bids due July 29, 2026 at $78,000 annual contract value, Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with bids due June 26, 2026, and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables with a June 22, 2026 submission deadline. The code appears misaligned with current state and local procurement activity under it; pursue only after confirming that actual buying patterns for the specific commodity have shifted or verifying a data classification error.
