UNSPSC 50523002: Non GMO yellow dragonfruits

The variety of non GMO dragonfruit known as non GMO yellow 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 50523002 Non GMO yellow dragonfruits is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers specialty tropical fruit, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations requesting dragonfruits—GMO-status yellow or otherwise. Instead, the opportunities are dominated by school nutrition programs in Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida soliciting fresh produce and food service items through RFPs, RFBs, IFBs, and ITBs. The solicitations name bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, and eggs as representative line items, but dragonfruits do not appear in any specification or scope.

School districts and county boards of education are the primary issuing bodies, with standout recent activity from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—all procuring under school nutrition and child nutrition programs. The geographic concentration is heavily weighted toward Georgia, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026 (estimated annual value $78,000), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites, bids due June 26, 2026. The code shows little relevant procurement activity at present; vendors should monitor school nutrition cooperative purchasing vehicles and state-level food service aggregators if entering this market.
