UNSPSC 50524313: Non GMO wolfe loquats

The variety of non GMO loquats known as non GMO wolfe 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 50524313 Non-GMO Wolfe Loquats is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for wolfe loquats or non-GMO specialty fruit varieties. Instead, the tagged opportunities document fresh produce procurement across a broad range of common fruits and vegetables—apples, bananas, berries, peppers, carrots, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, and eggs—for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. The code's name does not match the work actually being solicited under it in state and local markets, suggesting either a taxonomy misalignment in the source data or minimal procurement activity in this specific commodity line.

School districts and county school systems in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin dominate recent activity, issuing RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs for broad fresh-produce supply contracts serving 10 to 60+ school locations annually. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026, with $78,000 estimated annual value), Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts, with $4.4 million and $1.1 million estimated annual spending for two areas, due March 4, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB for fresh produce with 200+ line items, due June 26, 2026), and Glynn County Board of Education (IFB 27-02 for fresh produce across 16 schools, due April 14, 2026). Contracts typically run July through June on annual fixed-price terms with renewal options, require HACCP plans and traceability documentation, enforce Buy American provisions, mandate weekly or twice-weekly delivery windows, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a line-item basis to enable multiple vendor awards. No recent solicitations specifically target non-GMO wolfe loquats or similar specialty commodity lines.
