UNSPSC 50525609: Non GMO sugarloaf pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO sugarloaf 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 50525609 Non GMO sugarloaf pineapple is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The source records 18 recent state and local procurement opportunities tagged with this code, but the vast majority of the work being solicited is fresh produce supply for school nutrition programs — bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, and other staples — not pineapples of any variety. Only one solicitation (Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162) names pineapples at all, and only as a tangential reference in passing. The code's nominal scope (non-GMO sugarloaf pineapples) does not map to the work actually being bought under it in the recent opportunities on file.

State and local school districts and boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin dominate the recent procurement activity. School nutrition programs are soliciting fresh produce through RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs for contracts spanning July 2026 through June 2027, with annual values ranging from $78,000 (Madison Metropolitan School District petite bananas, RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) to $4.4 million (Douglas County School System cooperative procurement for 18 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative, RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). Typical line-item scopes include 60–300 produce SKUs per district, weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites, HACCP plan and food-safety certification requirements, Buy American domestic-content provisions, and pricing tied to USDA market indices or fixed fees. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the records. The geographic concentration spans Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Douglas County, and Savannah-Chatham), Texas independent school districts (McAllen, Austin), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan). The code does not reflect meaningful procurement activity aligned with its stated commodity definition.
