UNSPSC 50523001: Non GMO pink dragonfruits

The variety of non GMO dragonfruit known as non GMO pink 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 50523001 Non GMO pink dragonfruits is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific fruit product, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little activity directly aligned with the code's stated scope. The code appears to capture specialized produce procurement, yet the opportunities reflect a much broader pattern of fresh produce and food services contracting across school districts, county parks, healthcare coalitions, and county boards of education. The actual work being solicited spans general fresh fruit and vegetable sourcing, farm-direct produce procurement with locational sourcing requirements, school nutrition program support, regional park concessions food service, and commodity-level fresh-produce delivery to multiple institutional sites. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), special-purpose districts or healthcare entities (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state purchasing (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent opportunity set, reflecting ongoing procurement for the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program initiatives.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest. Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and the State of Georgia) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with additional activity in Florida (Collier County) and broader multi-state procurement through Marion Health Care Coalition. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (bids due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 estimated annual value with 70–90 weekly cases) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and processed in ready-to-eat form (bids due July 29, 2026, with approximately 5,900 weekly servings for elementary students); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple varieties and three delivery locations (sealed bids due June 26, 2026); and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles with contract award anticipated July 20, 2026. Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park food services (proposals due March 6, 2025) encompasses concession operations across multiple venues with a three-year term plus two one-year renewal options and a 10-point local-vendor preference.
