UNSPSC 50522913: Non GMO mactoum dates

The variety of non GMO dates known as non GMO mactoum 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 50522913 Non GMO mactoum dates is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source record shows a single opportunity—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026—that bears no relationship to the code's nominal scope. The remaining opportunities in the block are for fresh produce, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, eggs, and beverages across school nutrition programs in Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin, none of which reference or address dates of any kind, much less non-GMO mactoum dates specifically. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to have been misapplied to these solicitations.

State and local school districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles (notably the GEC Buying Cooperative) dominate the recent produce procurement activity in the block, spanning Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin. However, because the opportunities do not match the UNSPSC code's stated commodity, no meaningful pattern of activity under this particular code can be established. Readers evaluating this code should flag the category mismatch and verify the correct UNSPSC assignment if pursuing opportunities in school nutrition fresh produce procurement.
