UNSPSC 50525202: Non GMO blue passion flowers

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO blue passion flower. 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 50525202 Non GMO blue passion flowers (Commodity) does not map to the work state and local governments are actually buying under recent solicitations posted to this code. The nominated opportunities span school nutrition programs, fresh produce supply chains, and farm-to-school initiatives—none of which concern blue passion flowers, non-GMO or otherwise. The source identifies a single food-service procurement by Madison Metropolitan School District for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, $78,000 annual value), a second MMSD solicitation for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026), and multiple district-level IFBs and RFPs across Georgia, Texas, and Florida for institutional produce, eggs, and beverages supporting the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. These represent typical school food service buys—volume commodity fruits, vegetables, and eggs in bulk case packs with strict quality, delivery, traceability, HACCP, and Buy American compliance requirements—not specialty ornamental or botanical products.

The issuing-body mix is dominated by school districts and county boards of education, with one state-level Georgia food supplies procurement (RFP 26_003, due June 22, 2026) and one transit or municipal context absent from the available detail. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, Douglas County multi-district cooperative), with additional opportunities in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools).
