UNSPSC 50525203: Non GMO crackerjack passion fruits

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO crackerjack passion fruit. 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 50525203 Non GMO crackerjack passion fruits, a Commodity code, represents a narrow specialty produce category that state and local governments buy for school nutrition programs, parks and recreation food services, and health care facilities. The recent opportunities show that this code encompasses fresh produce procurement — though the solicitations posted under it reflect a much broader scope than the code name alone suggests, including petite bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, and general produce line items spanning apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, and Early County Board of Education all posting produce bids in recent months; other issuers include county parks departments (Collier County) and health care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition).

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and Midwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Florida (Collier County), and a state-level procurement from Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026) specifying 70–90 weekly cases at an estimated annual value of $78,000 for the 2026–2027 contract period; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB covering over 200 fresh produce line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026. School nutrition programs emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, local-sourcing preferences (including mileage-radius requirements), and weekly delivery logistics to central warehouse or school sites; pricing evaluation typically weighs cost at 40 percent with significant secondary weighting on product quality, traceability, seasonal variety, and vendor qualifications.
