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, Commodity code, is largely absent from recent state and local school nutrition procurement. School districts and related jurisdictions across the United States solicited fresh produce contracts at scale during the first seven months of 2026, but the recent opportunities block records no pineapple-specific solicitations and no references to non-GMO smooth cayenne pineapples as a distinct line item. The code appears misaligned with actual school nutrition procurement activity in the secondary market. School food service programs buy fresh produce at volume, but they solicit through broad produce categories—apples, bananas, berries, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, carrots, broccoli, and other staple fruits and vegetables—rather than branded or varietal pineapple specifications. The available opportunities do not support the conclusion that non-GMO smooth cayenne pineapples represent a meaningful procurement category under this code at the state and local level.

Issuing bodies pursuing fresh produce contracts include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, McAllen Independent, Austin Independent, and Douglas County as part of the GEC Buying Cooperative), one regional transit or food service authority (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida), a state agency (State of Georgia), and county boards of education across Georgia and Texas. Solicitations clustered in Georgia (Hancock, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn, Douglas, Bartow, Bulloch, Liberty Counties) and Texas (McAllen, Austin). Geographic spread includes Wisconsin (Madison), Florida (Tampa/Hillsborough), and scattered activity across the Southeast. Representatives of recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 (petite bananas, due July 29, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST (USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery, due March 11, 2026), Hancock County Schools IFB (over 200 fresh produce line items for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative (approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending across 30 districts, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026). No recent opportunity references non-GMO smooth cayenne pineapple as a solicited item.
