UNSPSC 50525905: Non GMO pat's red pommegranates

The variety of non GMO pommegranates known as non GMO pat's red 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 50525905 Non GMO pat's red pomegranates is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with minimal relevant recent activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited: the opportunities include school district food service bids for petite bananas, fresh produce snacks, mixed fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits), local produce procurement, general food supplies and kitchen products, and regional park concession food services—none of which specifically target non-GMO pomegranates or pomegranates at all. The code shows no solicitations explicitly calling for pomegranate procurement, and the recent contract opportunities are dominated by broader fresh produce, school nutrition program items, and general food-service bidding across multiple product lines rather than single-commodity fruit procurement.

School districts dominate the recent issuing bodies, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia), alongside one county parks department (Collier County, Florida), a healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and the State of Georgia. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and Wisconsin with a single Florida opportunity. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (bids due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin (bids due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items including apples, berries, and specialty fruits (bids 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 (proposal deadline June 22, 2026). Activity under this specific code does not support a pursue decision based on recent market signals.
