UNSPSC 50524002: Non GMO limequat kumquats

The variety of non GMO kumquats known as non GMO limequat kumquats. 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 50524002 Non GMO limequat kumquats is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure fresh fruit for school meal programs, regional park concessions, healthcare facility food service, and produce distribution networks. The recent opportunities show school districts and counties soliciting fresh produce — including bananas, berries, citrus, specialty fruits, and vegetable snacks — for National School Lunch and Breakfast programs, water park and athletic field concessions, and healthcare coalition operations. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with Madison Metropolitan School District and Hancock County Board of Education posting multiple RFBs for fresh fruit and vegetable supplies; county parks departments and healthcare coalitions also solicit produce. Work spans commodity procurement (cases of petite bananas at specified ripeness and size), ready-to-eat prepared fruit and vegetable snacks with traceability documentation, and bulk fresh-produce line-item bidding for multi-month or full-year supply contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin. Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFBs for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, annual contract value $78,000, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (approximately 5,900 servings weekly for elementary students, due July 29, 2026) requiring Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles and traceability by farm of origin. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026) with delivery to three school locations and a contract period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Bartow County School System in Georgia sought local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026). Collier County, Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food concession services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025) requiring menu variety and operational plans; Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals for the 2026–2027 period (due August 21, 2026).
