UNSPSC 50526101: Non GMO champion quince

The variety of non GMO quince known as non GMO champion quince. 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 50526101 Non GMO champion quince is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's name references a specific produce variety, but recent solicitations tagged under this code actually solicit bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, produce assortments, and mixed food service items—not quince. Madison Metropolitan School District posted an RFB on July 8, 2026, for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) with estimated annual contract value of $78,000, and a second RFB the same day for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, also due July 29, 2026) funded by USDA grant; neither directly targets champion quince. A State of Georgia food supplies solicitation (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026) and multiple school nutrition RFBs and IFBs across Georgia and Texas round out the recent activity, all soliciting broad produce portfolios rather than a single specialty fruit variety. The mismatch between the code name and the work actually being bought suggests this code may be misconfigured for state and local procurement tagging or sees very limited use for its intended commodity.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with recent opportunities from Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham County public schools, and others in Georgia, plus McAllen and Austin independent school districts in Texas and Hillsborough County in Florida. Procurement is concentrated in Georgia school nutrition programs and reflects a mix of notice types: RFBs, IFBs, and RFPs with response dates spanning May through July 2026. No single vendor or geographic region shows repeat incumbent status under this code. Recent activity appears heaviest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas and Florida, but the taxonomic mismatch between the code designation and actual procurement scope makes drawing reliable conclusions about the code's market size or strategic value difficult for a business development professional.
