UNSPSC 50523000: Non GMO dragonfruits

The type of non GMO dragonfruit known as non GMO dragonfruit. 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 50523000 Non GMO dragonfruits is a Class code that shows minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—non-GMO dragonfruit procurement—does not align with the opportunities present in the recent state and local contract records. The source contains no dragonfruit solicitations; instead, the opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly reflect fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, encompassing apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, celery, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus fruits, eggs, and other staple produce items commonly served in institutional food service. The divergence between the code name and the work actually being bought suggests a classification mismatch in the source data rather than genuine market activity under the dragonfruit commodity.

School districts across Georgia and Texas dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from a state department (Georgia) and a cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System all posted fresh-produce RFPs, RFQs, or IFBs between February and July 2026. Recent opportunities are concentrated in Georgia and Texas. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, specifying 70–90 cases weekly during school sessions with an estimated annual value of $78,000; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce encompassing 200+ line items across multiple produce categories with delivery to three school locations, due June 26, 2026; and Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP SN 26-004 covering 72 line items for 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The code itself does not reflect actual procurement signals and warrants reclassification in the source system.
