UNSPSC 50525603: Non GMO hilo pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO hilo 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 50525603 Non GMO Hilo pineapple, a Commodity code, spans fresh pineapple sourcing for state and local food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity directly targeting this specific variety. The code nominally covers a narrow product line — pineapples grown by specific cultivar and agricultural practice — but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly requesting Non GMO Hilo pineapple by name. Instead, state and local food service buyers are posting generalized produce-procurement notices that may include pineapples as line items within broader fresh-fruit categories. School districts, county parks departments, and health-care coalition food services are the primary issuing bodies active in fresh-produce procurement right now, typically bundling pineapples with dozens or hundreds of other produce SKUs rather than sourcing them as standalone commodities.

The geographic footprint spans multiple states. Recent produce opportunities originate from Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, and Early County Schools), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Florida (Collier County Parks), and a multi-state scope (Marion Health Care Coalition and State of Georgia). Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education (IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items, bids due June 26, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison, bids due July 29, 2026), and Bartow County School System (RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles, proposals due June 22, 2026). None of these opportunities specify Non GMO Hilo pineapple explicitly; pineapple appears as an unspecified line item within broader produce categories. Vendors pursuing this Commodity code should expect to compete on general fresh-produce contracts where pineapple is one of many items, not as a dedicated single-product line.
