UNSPSC 50525601: Non GMO cherimoya pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO cherimoya pineapple. 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 50525601 Non GMO cherimoya pineapple (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code is tagged in school nutrition and produce procurement, but recent opportunities solicited under this code target broad fresh produce categories — bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, citrus, and eggs — rather than the specialty tropical fruits named in the code. Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162, posted July 8, 2026 with bids due July 29, 2026, solicits petite bananas (not cherimoya or pineapple) in 150-count case packs for $78,000 annual value; the same district's RFB 4163 seeks fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison, Wisconsin. These opportunities reflect institutional food service demand for commodity produce staples with predictable supply chains, geographic sourcing preferences, and high fill-rate requirements (98 percent minimum in MMSD's case), not specialty or niche fruit procurement.

School districts and county boards of education dominate recent activity under this code across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, and citrus but no tropical specialty fruits; Bulloch County School District (Georgia) sought local produce grown within 200 miles in an RFP posted April 3, 2026, due May 4, 2026; McAllen ISD (Texas) requested fresh produce for 31 campuses in RFP 2026-1029 with proposals due March 6, 2026; and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) solicited specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program in RFP 26039RFQDST, with proposals due March 11, 2026. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative on February 4, 2026 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined. The code shows procurement activity but little evidence of cherimoya or pineapple demand specifically; the mismatch between the code's stated commodity and actual solicitation scope suggests reclassification or broad tagging by school nutrition procurement offices.
