UNSPSC 50524107: Non GMO meyer lemons

The variety of non GMO lemons known as non GMO meyer 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 50524107 Non GMO meyer lemons is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity in the block—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026)—is explicitly for bananas, not meyer lemons or any citrus variety. The remaining 16 opportunities posted between February and July 2026 solicit broad fresh produce and food service categories spanning fruits, vegetables, eggs, and beverages across school districts and state agencies in Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida, but none target meyer lemons specifically or emphasize non-GMO citrus sourcing as a line item. The code's narrow commodity scope—non-GMO meyer lemons as a single product line—does not align with the bundled, multi-item produce procurements that dominate state and local school nutrition and food service contracting.

School districts and county boards of education represent the primary issuing bodies in the recent block, with solicitations from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bartow County Schools (Georgia), Early County Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Schools (Georgia), Muscogee County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), Glynn County Schools (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County Schools (Georgia serving 30 districts). Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with secondary presence in Texas and Wisconsin. Sourcing patterns emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, local or domestic produce preferences where cost and quality allow, and delivery to school nutrition facilities. The recent opportunities reflect school nutrition program procurement at scale—annual contracts for 60 to 400+ line items with estimated values ranging from $78,000 to $4.4 million—but meyer lemons as a standalone commodity do not appear as a discrete line item in any posted solicitation, suggesting the code sees negligible recent activity in state and local markets.
