UNSPSC 50526005: Non GMO pink pomelo

The variety of non GMO pomelos known as non GMO pink 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 50526005 Non GMO pink pomelo is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely procure in standalone fashion; the recent opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope. Madison Metropolitan School District and other Wisconsin and Georgia school nutrition programs have tagged produce solicitations with this code while actually buying petite bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus varieties, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, eggs, and specialty items—a broad institutional food-service category bearing no relationship to pink pomelo procurement. The mismatch reflects a common coding variance in school nutrition RFPs and IFBs, where commodity codes may be applied categorically to entire produce families rather than to specific items. When state and local governments do buy produce, they solicit through school districts, county boards of education, and independent school districts using RFB, RFP, IFB, and ITB notices with annual contract terms, weekly or twice-weekly delivery schedules, and emphasis on USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, food-safety certifications, and traceability documentation.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Wisconsin school nutrition programs, with secondary solicitations from Texas and Florida districts. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, $78,000 estimated annual value), the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026), Bartow County Schools RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (due June 22, 2026), the Bulloch County School District IFP for locally-grown produce (due May 4, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts in two geographic areas (due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million combined annual value). The code shows no current market activity aligned to its stated name; vendors monitoring this code should expect it to route general produce procurements rather than pink pomelo specifically.
