UNSPSC 50524103: Non GMO cameron highlands lemons

The variety of non GMO lemons known as non GMO cameron highlands 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 50524103 Non GMO cameron highlands lemons, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's abstract name references a specific lemon variety, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for citrus fruit procurement. Instead, the code has been applied to school district fresh produce and food service contracts spanning bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, eggs, and comprehensive produce distributions across multiple categories—work that diverges significantly from single-commodity lemon procurement. The mismatch between the code's title and actual buying activity suggests either broad tagging practices by issuing bodies or a coding artifact that does not reflect current market demand for the specific product.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity centered in Georgia (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County Board of Education) and scattered activity in Texas (McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Buyers range from small county systems to large urban districts purchasing across 30+ school sites. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual contract value $78,000) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items across multiple fruit and vegetable categories (sealed bids due June 26, 2026). Douglas County School System's GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area represents the largest recent opportunity. Geographic concentration in Georgia reflects the density of recent solicitation activity, though the code shows no cumulative signal of sustained demand for the cameron highlands lemon product type specifically.
