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, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific specialty fruit variety, yet the recent opportunities posted under it center on broader fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, healthcare facilities, and county parks — encompassing multiple fruit and vegetable categories (bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus fruits, melons, specialty items) rather than the single pomelo product the code name specifies. The mismatch suggests either misclassification at posting or use of this code as a catch-all for fresh produce line items that do not map neatly to narrower commodity codes.

Recent solicitations come from school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bartow County School System in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia), county governments (Collier County Parks in Florida), a regional healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and a state agency (State of Georgia). The majority of activity clusters in Georgia school nutrition procurement and reflects annual or multi-year food service contracts tied to USDA school meal programs and local-sourcing preferences. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (#SN002-2027) with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year; Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026; and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas with weekly usage of 70–90 cases and bids due July 29, 2026. Georgia and Wisconsin show the strongest recent posting activity under this code.
