UNSPSC 50525902: Non GMO granada pommegranates

The variety of non GMO pommegranates known as non GMO granada pommegranates. 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 50525902 Non GMO Granada Pomegranates, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The nine opportunities posted since early February 2026 span fresh produce procurement across school nutrition programs in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, but they solicited mixed fresh fruits and vegetables (bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, melons, citrus, and eggs) as part of comprehensive produce contracts—not pomegranates, whether Granada or non-GMO designated. The mismatch between the code's specific product scope and the actual fresh produce being solicited suggests this Commodity code does not track state and local school nutrition procurement activity meaningfully.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across the recent record: Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia, serving 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative). Georgia school districts account for the largest concentration of activity, with Texas and Florida emerging as secondary markets. IFB and RFP notice types predominate; response dates cluster between late March and late July 2026. Estimated contract values range from $78,000 annually (Madison petite bananas) to $4.4 million (Douglas County Area One produce). Procurement emphasizes Buy American provisions, HACCP documentation, 98%+ fill rates, weekly or twice-weekly delivery, liability insurance of $500,000 to $2 million, and preferences for local or domestic sourcing where cost and quality permit. No opportunities mention pomegranates or Granada-variety specifications.
