UNSPSC 50525030: Non GMO oro blanco oranges

The variety of non GMO oranges known as non GMO oro blanco 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 50525030 Non GMO oro blanco oranges is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh citrus under this code as part of broader school food service, parks and recreation concessions, and healthcare facility nutrition programs. The recent solicitations do not show dedicated standalone opportunities targeting non-GMO oro blanco oranges specifically; instead, the code appears in procurement contexts where citrus is one line item within multi-hundred-item fresh produce portfolios or integrated food-service vendor relationships. Buying bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county parks departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), regional health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level procurement offices (State of Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, driven by USDA National School Lunch Program and Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program funding cycles.
