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 (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally encompasses specialty tropical fruit, but the most recent opportunities in the dataset consistently solicit fresh produce broadly—including bananas, apples, berries, and dozens of other items—under school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with no procurement records specifically naming guavas or narrowly GMO-certified produce variants. The few bananas that appear in recent bids (petite bananas for Madison Metropolitan School District, bulk bananas across multiple Georgia school districts) are itemized as general commodity purchases rather than specialty or non-GMO variants. Georgia school districts dominate the recent activity block—Douglas County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and others—alongside Texas districts and Florida's Hillsborough County Public Schools, all pursuing annual produce contracts through IFB, RFP, and ITB notices.

Issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and their cooperative purchasing vehicles (the GEC Buying Cooperative, for example), reflecting institutional food-service demand. The code shows no state-level procurement, county purchasing offices, municipalities, or transit authorities. Recent representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia (due March 4, 2026, with approximately $5.5 million annual spending), Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce (sealed bids due April 14, 2026), and Madison Metropolitan School District's concurrent RFBs 4162 and 4163 for petite bananas and fresh fruit-and-vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026). Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD) and Florida. The source provides no evidence that procurement offices specifically seek non-GMO or GMO-certified guavas, or that this code generates standalone demand separate from general produce sourcing; pursue only if you have established relationships with school nutrition programs that have expressed explicit interest in specialty or certified-variant tropical fruit.
