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 (Commodity) covers fresh fruit supply to state and local education and nutrition programs, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows little activity specifically for guavas or guava products. School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida are actively procuring fresh produce through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs, but the recent opportunities block reflects broad fresh-fruit procurement rather than guava-specific demand. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin solicited petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, citrus, and melons (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Bulloch County School District in Georgia sought locally-grown produce within 200 miles including watermelons, apples, strawberries, and citrus varieties (IFP, due May 4, 2026). School districts consistently demand high-volume fresh fruit sourcing tied to USDA child nutrition programs, with typical contract terms running July through June and emphasizing domestic sourcing, HACCP certification, traceability, food safety documentation, and compliance with Buy American provisions.

The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and school nutrition programs across multiple Georgia districts (Bulloch, Glynn, Hancock, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas, Early, Bartow, and others), plus McAllen and Austin Independent School Districts in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, and Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin. The geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas and Florida. Recent opportunities show school nutrition programs prioritizing cost (typically weighted 30–50% of evaluation), product quality and availability, vendor qualifications (including insurance, HACCP plans, and experience with school systems), and geographic or local-sourcing preferences where district procurement policies support them. Contracts typically run one year with options for renewal, prices firm for the contract term, weekly or twice-weekly deliveries required, and payment terms at Net 30 to Net 40 days. The code shows no recent guava-specific opportunities; pursue only if you have established relationships with school district food-service procurement teams or regional produce distributors already bidding fresh-fruit categories in this segment.
