UNSPSC 50525512: Non GMO triumph persimmons

The variety of non GMO persimmons known as non GMO triumph 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 50525512 Non GMO triumph persimmons (Commodity) covers fresh fruit procurement by state and local government food-service operations, school districts, and healthcare organizations. Recent state and local solicitations show school nutrition programs and county park concession operations buying fresh produce through competitive bidding and negotiation processes, with an emphasis on quality standards, delivery logistics, food-safety compliance, and traceability documentation. The code reflects actual purchasing of fresh fruits and vegetables—bananas, apples, berries, melons, citrus, and specialty items—across weekly and seasonal contract periods rather than persimmons specifically.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posting multiple recent solicitations. County government and health-care coalition buyers also appear, including Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) for park concessions and Marion Health Care Coalition (Marion County jurisdiction). Georgia and Wisconsin show the strongest recent activity. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, contract value $78,000, bids due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce (IFB, bids due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP, proposals due June 22, 2026), and Collier County's ITN 258360 for food services at North Collier Regional Park including concession operations (ITN, proposals due March 6, 2025). Vendor evaluation emphasizes cost, food-safety compliance and HACCP plans, local or domestic sourcing preferences where specified, delivery capability, and diverse-business status certifications.
