UNSPSC 50524201: Non GMO indian sweet limes

The variety of non GMO limes known as non GMO indian sweet limes. 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 50524201 Non GMO indian sweet limes is a Commodity code covering fresh citrus produce sourced to specifications for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and hospitality venues. State and local governments rarely solicit non-GMO indian sweet limes as a standalone commodity — recent procurement activity focuses instead on fresh produce broadly, with school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and board of education nutrition programs buying mixed fresh fruits and vegetables in bulk for student meals, park concessions, and operational food service. When citrus appears in recent RFBs and RFPs, it surfaces within multi-item produce schedules rather than as individual line items, typically bundled with apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and specialty fruits under broader fresh-produce contracts.

Recent state and local opportunities show procurement concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin, with activity also in Florida and the broader Southeast. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning the 2026-27 school year (with over 200 line items including citrus, bids due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System's May 2026 RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's July 2026 RFB for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (bids due July 29, 2026), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' October 2026 ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (proposals due March 6, 2025). Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-vendor RFP in August 2026 with proposals due August 21, 2026. Pursuit under this code is not recommended absent a specific bid solicitation naming non-GMO indian sweet limes or equivalent citrus varieties; the commodity itself does not drive standalone demand in current state and local markets.
