UNSPSC 50525209: Non GMO water lemon passion fruits

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO water lemon 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 50525209 Non GMO water lemon passion fruits is a Commodity code that in practice names a narrow product line—specialty citrus and tropical fruits—but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect much broader fresh produce procurement. School districts, county parks departments, and healthcare coalitions are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code, with school districts appearing most frequently and consistently. The actual buying encompasses fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, petite bananas, mixed fresh produce for school nutrition programs, and produce for park concessions and healthcare food services. While the code's formal name specifies non-GMO water lemons and passion fruits, vendors responding to these solicitations typically supply diverse produce portfolios rather than single specialty items, and the evaluation criteria emphasize variety, traceability, delivery logistics, and compliance with food-safety and nutrition standards rather than certification of non-GMO status alone.
