UNSPSC 50524302: Non GMO benlehr loquats

The variety of non GMO loquats known as non GMO benlehr loquats. 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 50524302 Non GMO benlehr loquats shows minimal relevant recent activity. The Commodity code nominally refers to a specific produce variety, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for loquats—GMO status, certification, or otherwise. Instead, the posted records name generic fresh produce procurement by school nutrition programs: bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and eggs across multiple school districts. A single opportunity (Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) specifies petite bananas at a $78,000 annual contract value, but this is a commodity substitution, not loquat procurement. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact—state and local education buyers are not currently sourcing loquats as a line item or contract focus.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas school districts, with secondary representation from Wisconsin and Florida. The most active buyers are school nutrition programs across Hancock County Schools, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Bulloch County School District, Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative), McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District. Most opportunities are issued as RFPs or IFBs with response deadlines between late March and late July 2026, typically covering annual school nutrition contracts from July 1 through June 30 with renewal options. Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards are standard across solicitations. Without active loquat procurement signals in the source material, this code warrants a skip unless your firm is actively pursuing misclassified or reclassified specialty fruit opportunities within school nutrition.
