UNSPSC 50525602: Non GMO golden pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO golden 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 50525602 Non GMO golden pineapple is a Commodity code that captures fresh specialty fruit procurement by state and local government food service operations, though recent activity shows the code is applied inconsistently and does not reflect a robust, dedicated market for non-GMO golden pineapples specifically. The recent opportunities tagged to this code include general produce sourcing (fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs and healthcare providers) alongside food-service concession operations, suggesting state and local buyers use the code as a catch-all for specialty or premium fruit line items rather than as a targeted procurement vehicle for non-GMO pineapples alone. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), and Bartow County School System (Georgia) all posting fresh produce bids in the recent window. Healthcare and county parks departments represent a smaller but active segment. The State of Georgia also posted a food-supplies bid potentially spanning this code, though the attachment was not accessible for detail.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with ancillary activity in Florida (Collier County) and Marion County (health coalition). Recent representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (bids due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items including specialty fruits (bids due June 26, 2026, contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026, contract July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027). School district procurement typically emphasizes cost (40% of evaluation), seasonal variety, delivery compliance, and local or domestic sourcing preferences; most bids remain open for 15 to 30 days firm pricing post-award. However, the code shows no dedicated solicitations for non-GMO golden pineapples as a standalone product line, indicating minimal specialized demand or misalignment between the code assignment and actual buying patterns.
