UNSPSC 50523704: Non GMO pineapple guavas

The variety of non GMO guavasknown as non GMO pineapple guava. 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 50523704 Non GMO pineapple guavas is a Commodity code that covers specialized fresh fruit procurement, though the recent activity shows the code is tagged to a narrow slice of state and local produce buying and does not see regular direct solicitation for this specific item. State and local governments under this code are buying fresh produce as part of broader food-service operations — primarily school nutrition programs, county parks and recreation facilities, and healthcare coalitions. The issuing bodies are school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and specialized health-related procurement bodies (Marion Health Care Coalition). These jurisdictions procure produce in volume to support meal programs, concession operations, and community food service; the work typically bundles fresh fruits and vegetables together rather than calling out individual commodity lines.

Recent opportunities concentrate in the Southeast and Midwest, with activity from Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, State of Georgia), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Florida (Collier County), and Ohio (Marion Health Care Coalition). Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (more than 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty items; sealed bids due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly; bids due July 29, 2026; estimated annual contract value $78,000), and Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (proposals due March 6, 2025). The code itself does not command strong independent purchasing interest; vendors pursuing opportunities tagged to this code should monitor broader school nutrition and park food-service RFPs where pineapple guavas may appear as line items within larger produce awards rather than as standalone solicitations.
