UNSPSC 50524207: Non GMO persian limes

The variety of non GMO limes known as non GMO persian 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 50524207 Non-GMO Persian limes (Commodity tier) does not see active state and local procurement activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities dataset contains no solicitations for Persian limes or other citrus fruit matching this Commodity code. One opportunity posted by Douglas County School System references citrus fruits generically within a broader fresh-produce RFP, but does not isolate citrus sourcing as a standalone procurement line, and the code itself does not align with the actual work being solicited across the recent state and local opportunities block.

The dataset instead shows sustained, high-volume fresh-produce procurement activity by school districts and educational cooperatives across Georgia, Texas, and Florida—covering apples, bananas, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, and eggs—but with no identifiable trend toward Persian limes specifically. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks in July 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items in June 2026; and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) solicited specialty fruits and vegetables for its USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program in April 2026. These and comparable institutional food-service procurements emphasize broad assortments of common produce categories, Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites. The code shows no relevant recent activity and does not warrant pursuit at this time.
