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 spans fresh produce procurement by state and local entities, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for the specific fruit named. The code's nominal scope — a single specialized persimmon variety — does not align with the recent activity visible in the source material. State and local governments procuring under this or closely related produce codes are buying fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, county recreation facilities, health-care coalition foodservice operations, and other public venues. The issuing bodies are school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and specialized authorities (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple simultaneous RFB and RFP postings in June and July 2026 for fresh-produce contracts spanning the 2026–2027 fiscal year.

Recent representative opportunities show school districts executing produce procurement across multiple fresh categories rather than single-item sourcing. Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFB 4162 (due July 29, 2026) for petite bananas, projecting annual spend of $78,000 with weekly usage of 70–90 cases and strict specifications on ripeness and delivery temperature; the same district issued RFB 4163 (due July 29, 2026) for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with a 400-mile Wisconsin-sourcing requirement and a $0.20 per pound organic preference discount. Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits with delivery to three school sites across the 2026–2027 school year. Bartow County School System issued RFP 10-2026-019 (due June 22, 2026) for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, running through June 30, 2027 with four one-year renewal options. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids (due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items including fresh produce, meats, dairy, and paper supplies supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. Geographic concentration is evident in Georgia and Wisconsin, with secondary activity in Florida (Collier County) and activity reported by the State of Georgia for statewide food and kitchen products. The code shows little current alignment with non-GMO persimmon-specific procurement; recent activity favors bulk fresh-produce platform buys and mixed-fruit school lunch contracts.
