UNSPSC 50525510: Non GMO royal brillante persimmons

The variety of non GMO persimmons known as non GMO royal brillante 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 50525510 Non GMO royal brillante persimmons is a Commodity code that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific persimmon variety, but recent solicitations in the opportunity block show school districts and education agencies buying fresh produce under broad categorical procurements—bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and wide-ranging produce portfolios—rather than single-variety specialty items. The sourced opportunities span multiple school nutrition programs and buying cooperatives across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida, but none specify persimmons or identify the UNSPSC 50525510 commodity as a driver of procurement strategy.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Bartow County School System (Georgia). All opportunities solicited fresh produce through RFP, RFQ, or IFB notices with response dates clustered between March and July 2026. Georgia school districts and their cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts) generate the heaviest recent activity, with additional activity in Texas and Wisconsin. The opportunities emphasize domestic sourcing preferences, Buy American compliance, local and regional produce sourcing requirements (200–400 miles in several cases), HACCP documentation, liability insurance of $500,000 to $2 million, and compliance with federal school nutrition program standards. No recent solicitation explicitly names persimmons or UNSPSC 50525510, suggesting this code does not represent active state and local procurement focus.
