UNSPSC 50526802: Non GMO seedless sugar apples

The variety of non GMO sugar apples known as non GMO seedless sugar apples. 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 50526802 Non GMO seedless sugar apples is a Commodity code covering specialty fresh fruit procurement by state and local food-service operators. The recent opportunities under this code, however, show little direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. School districts, county parks departments, and health-care coalitions are soliciting fresh produce broadly—including bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, and other commodity fruits and vegetables—but none of the posted opportunities name sugar apples specifically. Madison Metropolitan School District issued separate RFBs for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026) with weekly usage projections of 70–90 cases and 5,900 servings respectively; Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce across over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, bids due June 26, 2026); and Bartow County School System sought local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners also issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025), which encompasses concession operations across water park and athletic facilities but does not itemize produce by type.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with additional procurement from Florida and Colorado-based health-care entities. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, though county parks and health-care systems also participate. The code shows no evidence of active state-level or dedicated municipal procurement for non-GMO seedless sugar apples as a line item. Vendors pursuing this code should recognize that recent state and local solicitations treat fresh produce as a broad commodity category rather than specialty fruit segments; opportunities under UNSPSC 50526802 do not appear to be independently tagged or solicited at present. Business development professionals should monitor school-district RFBs and county park food-service ITNs for any future itemization of sugar apples, but current activity suggests limited near-term pursuit potential under this specific code.
