UNSPSC 50525509: Non GMO principe ito persimmons

The variety of non GMO persimmons known as non GMO principe ito persimmons. 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 50525509 Non GMO Principe ito persimmons (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to this code's nominal scope. The single opportunity record tagged to this code—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas—describes a banana supply contract, not persimmons, indicating a code-opportunity mismatch. State and local food service procurement under this Commodity tier typically encompasses individual fresh produce line items (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, melons, and specialty fruits) for school nutrition programs, National School Lunch Program compliance, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program fulfillment, but recent solicitations do not show persimmon-specific demand or pricing signals.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida account for the overwhelming majority of recent fresh produce procurement activity in the dataset, with issuing bodies including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System procuring through RFB, RFP, and IFB notices. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) requesting bids on over 200 fresh produce line items with delivery to three school sites, and Bulloch County School District (IFP, due May 4, 2026) seeking local produce within 200 miles including watermelons, apples, persimmons, citrus varieties, strawberries, and leafy greens for its Farm to School program. The Georgia state procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products also appears in the dataset but provides no detailed scope. Persimmons appear as one line item among dozens in the Bulloch County procurement, suggesting limited standalone demand; the code itself warrants monitoring for future activity but shows no current volume-generation potential based on available recent solicitations.
