UNSPSC 50522915: Non GMO yatimeh dates

The variety of non GMO dates known as non GMO yatimeh 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 50522915 Non GMO yatimeh dates, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title references specialty date varieties, yet the most recent opportunities posted under this code solicited fresh produce, bananas, and food service items—categories unrelated to dates or date products. School districts, county school systems, and one state agency issued these solicitations, but they do not reflect the commodity described by the code itself.

The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement content renders this code unsuitable as a reliable signal for tracking date-product demand in state and local markets. Recent activity instead spans fresh produce contracting across Georgia, Florida, and Texas school nutrition programs, with notice types including RFB, RFP, and IFB, and response dates ranging from late March through late July 2026. School district nutrition departments in Madison, Wisconsin; Hancock County, Georgia; Bartow County, Georgia; Hillsborough County, Florida; and multiple other jurisdictions posted opportunities for fresh fruit and vegetable supply agreements, produce delivery services, and comprehensive food sourcing contracts—none of which target non-GMO dates or specialty date products. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities and does not serve as a useful taxonomy entry for business development professionals evaluating actual state and local date procurement.
