UNSPSC 50524305: Non GMO early red loquats

The variety of non GMO loquats known as non GMO early red 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 50524305 Non GMO early red loquats is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's name references a specific tropical fruit variety, yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code procure bananas, mixed fresh produce, and comprehensive food-service supplies—categories that diverge substantially from loquat procurement. Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162, posted July 8, 2026 with bids due July 29, 2026, solicits petite bananas in 150-count cases for school meal service, while MMSD's concurrent RFB 4163 covers fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison. These represent the only directly commodity-level opportunities in the block; the remainder of recent activity—from Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, and others across Georgia and Texas—consists of broad RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive school nutrition produce and food procurement covering dozens of line items rather than non-GMO loquats specifically.

State and local school districts dominate the issuing bodies in this code block, with secondary activity from a state-level Georgia food procurement. The geographic footprint spans Georgia heavily (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, Douglas County), with additional solicitations from Madison, Wisconsin; Bartow County, Georgia; Hillsborough County, Florida; McAllen, Texas; and Austin, Texas. The absence of loquat-specific solicitations and the prevalence of standardized produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, peppers, carrots, leafy greens) and eggs across school nutrition contracts suggest this code either receives infrequent use for its intended commodity or is being applied to catch broader fresh-produce procurement activity. Business development professionals should treat this code as dormant for loquat-specific opportunities and instead monitor the Family-level fresh-produce codes or broader food-service procurement channels if school nutrition produce supply is the actual target market.
