UNSPSC 50526003: Non GMO liang ping yau pomelo

The variety of non GMO pomelos known as non GMO liang ping yau pomelo. 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 50526003 Non GMO liang ping yau pomelo is a Commodity code that captures school district produce procurement across multiple fresh fruit and vegetable categories, though the recent state and local opportunities show minimal activity specifically aligned with the code's stated product name. Instead, state and local education agencies are actively procuring broad fresh produce assortments—including bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared produce items—to support National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program awards, and Farm to School initiatives. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix: Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), 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) have all posted opportunities in recent months. A small number of state purchasing offices and independent school districts have also solicited produce, but K–12 nutrition programs represent the overwhelming volume of activity.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin, with Georgia showing the highest concentration of solicitations across multiple county and city school systems. Representative procurements include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual contract value of $78,000; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce due June 26, 2026; Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruit and vegetables due June 22, 2026; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 72 produce line items and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026; and Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and a la carte beverages due March 11, 2026. Most solicitations are structured as annual fixed-price contracts with line-item bidding, HACCP and traceability requirements, Buy American provisions emphasizing domestic sourcing, and renewal options spanning three to five years. The code shows active pursuit worth monitoring given the sustained volume of school nutrition procurement and the multi-million-dollar aggregate opportunity across larger districts, though vendor targeting should focus on the specific produce mix and delivery requirements of individual jurisdictions rather than the narrow commodity name.
