UNSPSC 50525608: Non GMO smooth cayenne pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO smooth cayenne 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 50525608 Non GMO smooth cayenne pineapple is a Commodity code representing fresh produce items state and local governments procure for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and park concession operations. The recent solicitations under this code show that state and local buyers are acquiring fresh fruit and vegetables — including pineapples as part of broader produce portfolios — for elementary and secondary school lunch and breakfast programs, county park food services, regional health care coalition operations, and other food-service venues. The work involves meeting food-safety standards, delivery-schedule compliance, traceability documentation, and often locational sourcing preferences; vendors typically furnish produce to multiple delivery sites on fixed weekly or monthly schedules at competitive wholesale pricing.

School districts dominate the recent issuing bodies, with Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) each posting multiple produce solicitations in the past five months. County government and special-purpose entities including Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) and Marion Health Care Coalition also appear as repeat buyers. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with additional solicitations from Florida and multi-state state-level procurement by the State of Georgia. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring sourcing within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison with 5,900 weekly servings for elementary students; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce across apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits due June 26, 2026; and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026 and contract award anticipated July 20, 2026.
