UNSPSC 50524609: Non GMO charentais melons

The variety of non GMO melons known as non GMO charentais melons. 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 50524609 Non GMO charentais melons is a Commodity code with limited recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the code's specific product scope. The recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations explicitly requesting non-GMO charentais melons by name or specification. The code does not appear in the most recent state and local contract opportunities reviewed.

State and local food service procurement under related fresh produce codes is active across school districts, county parks, and healthcare coalitions in the Southeast and Midwest. Madison Metropolitan School District, Marion Health Care Coalition, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) have solicited fresh produce, petite bananas, and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks via RFB and IFB notices between May and August 2026. Collier County Parks and Recreation Division issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park in October 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with secondary activity in Florida. However, none of these opportunities specify charentais melons or non-GMO melon varieties as line items. Buyers soliciting fresh produce typically issue broad RFB and IFB notices with itemized produce lists that may include melons as category commodity lines rather than varietal-specific items; charentais melons do not appear in the specification documents summarized. Pursue this code only when solicitations explicitly list melon varieties or when a buyer's detailed specification attachments name charentais melons by cultivar or quality standard.
