UNSPSC 50523701: Non GMO beaumont guavas

The variety of non GMO guavasknown as non GMO beaumont guavas. 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 50523701 Non GMO beaumont guavas is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single produce item, yet the recent state and local opportunities block shows no solicitations for Beaumont guavas or the specific fruit by that name. State and local governments are actively soliciting produce through this taxonomy, but the opportunities being posted — fresh produce broadly, petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and mixed produce line items for school nutrition programs — do not align with the guava-specific code designation. The scope of work actually visible under this code consists of produce procurement for school nutrition programs, parks and recreation concessions, health care coalitions, and school districts purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables to meet USDA meal-program requirements, state nutritional standards, and customer service needs at concession venues. Issuing bodies include county school boards, county parks departments, regional health care coalitions, and state education authorities; school nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, particularly districts in Georgia, Wisconsin, and other states procuring produce under National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program funding.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities centers on Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bartow County School System, Early County Schools), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and broader state-level procurement (the State of Georgia soliciting food and kitchen products). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, projecting 70–90 cases weekly and estimated annual value of $78,000, and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026 and contract running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Bartow County School System issued RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026. All school district procurements emphasize food safety compliance (HACCP plans, E-Verify verification, debarment certification), liability insurance in the $500,000 to $1 million range, firm pricing with transportation included, and delivery to central warehouses or school sites early morning on weekdays. The code shows little recent activity specifically matching Beaumont guava procurement.
