UNSPSC 50524310: Non GMO strawberry loquats

The variety of non GMO loquats known as non GMO strawberry 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 50524310 Non GMO strawberry loquats is a Commodity code that addresses specialty fresh fruit procurement, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity directly aligned with this specific product line. The code encompasses procurement of non-genetically modified strawberry loquats for food service operations, typically required to meet quality standards, food safety compliance, and delivery timelines. State and local buyers using this code span school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and county boards of education, with procurement driven by operational food service needs across K–12 nutrition programs, institutional food service, and recreational facility concessions.

Recent opportunities posted under or near this code reflect broader fresh produce procurement across state and local jurisdictions rather than strawberry loquats specifically. The Marion Health Care Coalition sought fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026–2027 contract period with proposals due August 21, 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District issued an RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin, with weekly delivery of approximately 5,900 servings for elementary students. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple varieties for the 2026–27 school year, with bids due June 26, 2026. Bartow County School System in Georgia sought local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles sourced from local farms through an RFP with proposals due June 22, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with additional activity in Florida and Ohio. The code shows limited recent solicitation volume and no definitive indication that strawberry loquats are being actively procured; buyers appear to be sourcing broader produce categories rather than this specialty item in particular.
