UNSPSC 50525906: Non GMO pinkhan pommegranates

The variety of non GMO pommegranates known as non GMO pinkhan 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 50525906 Non GMO pinkhan pomegranates, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—including petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and broad produce procurement—do not align with the code's nominal scope. School districts and education authorities dominate the issuing-body mix across the recent opportunities, but their solicitations target bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus fruits, and mixed fresh produce for school nutrition programs rather than pomegranates or pomegranate varieties. The geographic concentration of activity appears in Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida, with repeated procurement cycles tied to school-year calendars beginning July 1 each year.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual recent solicitation activity suggests that pomegranate procurement, if occurring under state and local contracts at all, is either tagged under broader produce codes or embedded within generic fresh-produce IFBs and RFPs. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026, sourced within 400 miles of Madison); Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One). Buyers evaluating this code should verify classification with issuing procurement offices before pursuit, as the actual commodity may be classified under UNSPSC 50520000 (Fresh Fruit) or another higher-tier family code.
