UNSPSC 50525106: Non GMO tainung papayas

The variety of non GMO papayas known as non GMO tainung papayas. 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 50525106 Non GMO tainung papayas is a Commodity code tracking fresh papaya procurement by state and local governments. The recent opportunities block shows minimal direct solicitation for the specific product — no state or local jurisdiction has posted a dedicated papaya bid in the recent sample. However, papayas appear as line items within broader fresh-produce procurements. Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year lists papayas among over 200 produce line items spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty items including starfruit and kiwis. School districts and counties dominate the buying under related fresh-produce codes; Marion Health Care Coalition (seeking general produce vendors for the 2026-2027 period), Bartow County School System (requesting local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles), Early County Board of Education (seeking food and non-food products for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program), and the State of Georgia (requesting bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products) all appear in the recent opportunities block. Food service procurement for schools and regional parks — venues where high-volume fruit consumption supports consistent demand — represents the core activity.

Georgia shows the densest recent activity in the sample, with Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and the State of Georgia all posting produce or food-service solicitations between May and June 2026. Wisconsin also appears through Madison Metropolitan School District's dual requests for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual contract value $78,000 for 70-90 cases weekly) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, approximately 5,900 servings weekly for elementary students under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program). Florida procurement activity is represented by Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, offering a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points). The code itself sees no standalone papaya solicitations; papayas are sourced as minor line items within comprehensive fresh-produce bids where school nutrition programs and regional food-service operations aggregate fruit and vegetable demand across multiple product categories and seasonal cycles.
