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 is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific tropical fruit variety, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it show virtually no alignment with the code's stated scope. The opportunities in the source record instead reflect broad fresh-produce procurement — bananas, apples, berries, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and mixed fruit-and-vegetable snacks — across school nutrition programs, county parks concession services, and health-care facility food operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education) with one county parks department (Collier County), one health-care coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and one state procurement (State of Georgia). No vendor has been named as a repeat buyer under this code.

Activity clusters in Georgia and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's request for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000 for 70–90 cases weekly during school sessions) and Hancock County Board of Education's invitation for bids on over 200 fresh-produce line items spanning multiple apple, berry, vegetable, and specialty-fruit varieties (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). Bartow County School System is soliciting local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles of Cartersville, Georgia (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners seeks a food-services vendor for park concessions including food and beverage across multiple venues (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025). School districts weight cost heavily in evaluation (typically 40%), emphasize product quality and compliance with food-safety and HACCP standards, and frequently impose local-sourcing or geographic preferences. The code shows little recent activity specifically for non-GMO benlehr loquats.
