UNSPSC 50523702: Non GMO carrley guavas

The variety of non GMO guavas known as non GMO carrley 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 50523702 Non GMO carrley guavas is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific produce item, but recent state and local solicitations show little activity targeting this code specifically. The opportunities posted under it span fresh produce procurement more broadly — school districts, county parks, healthcare coalitions, and state agencies are soliciting fresh fruits, vegetables, and prepared produce items for food service operations across institutional settings. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity name and the actual procurement activity suggests that while guavas may be purchased as part of institutional produce orders, they are not the focus of current solicitations and do not drive contracting activity under this code.

The recent opportunities cluster in school nutrition programs and regional food service, with activity concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin. Madison Metropolitan School District posted two separate RFBs in July 2026 — one for petite bananas ($78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026) and one for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison (due July 29, 2026, contingent on USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant funding). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026, delivery to three school locations). Bartow County School System in Georgia requested local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026; contract through June 30, 2027 with renewal options). Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park, including concessions (due March 6, 2025), and Marion Health Care Coalition in Florida posted a produce vendor RFP for 2026-2027 (due August 21, 2026). The procurement pattern reflects institutional demand for fresh produce with strong preferences for local or regional sourcing, traceability documentation, food safety compliance (HACCP plans required), and pricing sensitivity — opportunities target established school districts and regional food service operators rather than specialty produce vendors.
