UNSPSC 50523703: Non GMO lucida guavas

The variety of non GMO guavasknown as non GMO lucida 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 50523703 Non GMO lucida guavas is a Commodity code that names a single produce line item, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity specifically for guavas. The opportunities posted instead reflect broader fresh-produce procurement across food service, school nutrition, and healthcare settings. School districts, county parks departments, and a healthcare coalition are the primary issuing bodies, seeking fresh fruits and vegetables as components of larger food-service contracts. When guavas or similar specialty produce appears in scope, it is typically listed as one item among dozens of commodity line items within a comprehensive produce bid rather than as a standalone procurement. The work being solicited includes weekly or seasonal delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables to school cafeterias, parks concessions, and healthcare facilities, with vendors required to meet food-safety compliance, traceability documentation, delivery schedules, and quality standards specified in HACCP plans or similar protocols.

School districts in Georgia (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education) and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida account for the plurality of recent activity. Georgia sources also include the State of Georgia and Marion Health Care Coalition. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (response due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (response due July 29, 2026) estimated at 70–90 cases weekly for bananas and 5,900 servings weekly for produce snacks; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits (sealed bids due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposal due June 22, 2026); and Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (proposals due March 6, 2025). Geographic concentration in Georgia and Florida dominates recent postings, with secondary activity in Wisconsin.
