UNSPSC 50525904: Non GMO nana pommegranates

The variety of non GMO pommegranates known as non GMO nana 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 50525904 Non GMO nana pommegranates is a Commodity code that shows limited recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The sourced opportunities uniformly diverge from the code's name: the recent-opportunities block contains 16 state and local solicitations for fresh produce procurement, all of which name bananas, apples, berries, peppers, carrots, tomatoes, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, and other staple produce categories, but no pomegranates and no explicit non-GMO produce lines. The single opportunity directly tagged to 50525904 — Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162, posted July 8, 2026, with bids due July 29, 2026 — solicits petite bananas in 150-count case packs at specific ripeness stages, representing a narrow banana specification rather than the pomegranate-focused category the code nominally describes. The mismatch between code name and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding at the source or that state and local procurement officers have not consistently applied this commodity designation to pomegranate sourcing.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida dominate the recent activity, issuing RFBs, RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs for fresh produce supply contracts spanning school nutrition programs and the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items due June 26, 2026; Bulloch County School District (Georgia) IFP for locally-grown produce within 200 miles due May 4, 2026; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. None of these opportunities align with pomegranate procurement. The code shows no relevant recent state or local activity and should be monitored for correction or reclassification rather than pursued under its current designation.
