UNSPSC 50525001: Non GMO african sour oranges

The variety of non GMO oranges known as non GMO african sour oranges. 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 50525001 Non GMO African Sour Oranges (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally names a specific citrus commodity, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not align with the category's scope. The eight most recent posted solicitations are school nutrition program procurements for broad fresh produce supply — bananas, apples, mixed vegetables, berries, and other items across multi-item line-item bids — rather than targeted sourcing of African sour oranges. None of the opportunities name or target this specific commodity; the single opportunity explicitly mentioning oranges is a multi-item school nutrition bid for standard citrus varieties (Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02, posted March 16, 2026). State and local procurement offices are not currently using this code as a signal for targeted buys of African sour oranges.

The issuing bodies are uniformly school districts and their nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Florida. This commodity code does not represent a distinct market opportunity in state and local procurement activity today. Vendors pursuing institutional produce supply should monitor the broader fresh-fruit codes and the produce line items within school nutrition competitive bids, but this specific code is not driving current solicitations.
