UNSPSC 50525024: Non GMO marr oranges

The variety of non GMO oranges known as non GMO marr 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 50525024 Non GMO marr oranges, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The source contains no recent opportunities for non-GMO marred oranges or functionally equivalent citrus products. The recent opportunities block references a range of fresh produce solicitations—bananas, apples, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, and eggs—but none specifically target the non-GMO marred orange commodity as defined. One opportunity (Bulloch County School District, May 4, 2026) lists citrus varieties (Kisses, Kishus, Satsumas, and Tangerines) as part of a broader local-produce procurement, and another (Hancock County Board of Education, June 26, 2026) includes generic citrus fruits in a 200+ line-item fresh produce RFB, yet neither isolates non-GMO or marred-grade specification. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual procurement activity displayed in the recent opportunities block, which emphasizes general fresh produce distribution to school districts, counties, and municipalities across Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin.

State and local buying under this code is not currently active at a material scale in the available records. School districts and county boards of education drive the bulk of recent fresh produce procurement in the source data, but they are procuring through broad commodity categories (fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, fresh produce and eggs) rather than specific citrus grades or non-GMO designations. The geographic spread of recent opportunities centers on Georgia (Hancock, Bulloch, Glynn, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas, and Bartow Counties and Early County; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; and McAllen and Austin Independent School Districts in Texas). Without documentary evidence of recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity specifically targeting non-GMO marred oranges, pursuit of this code warrants close watch of school nutrition procurement channels rather than immediate business development effort.
