UNSPSC 50524102: Non GMO bearss sicilian lemons

The variety of non GMO lemons known as non GMO bearss sicilian lemons. 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 50524102 Non GMO bearss sicilian lemons, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass petite bananas (Madison Metropolitan School District), general fresh produce (Marion Health Care Coalition, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (Madison Metropolitan School District), food service concessions at a county park (Collier County), and miscellaneous food supplies (State of Georgia), but none specifically name or target non-GMO Sicilian lemons or any lemon variety. The code appears to have been applied to agricultural procurement notices that fall within the broader fresh-fruit category but do not reflect the narrow commodity definition.

The recent opportunities do reveal active state and local produce procurement across school districts, county parks and recreation, health care coalitions, and state-level food services in Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with Madison Metropolitan School District posting two separate RFBs in July 2026 (petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items due June 26, 2026, and Bartow County School System seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables due June 22, 2026. These opportunities typically specify delivery schedules, quality standards, traceability requirements, insurance thresholds ($500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability), and evaluation criteria weighting cost between 30 and 40 percent. A business pursuing agricultural commodity sales to state and local buyers should track the broader fresh-produce and fresh-fruit categories rather than rely on this code for signal, as the mismatch between code definition and actual scope limits its utility for targeted prospecting.
