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 that sees little relevant recent activity under its stated description. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve sugar apples; instead, school districts across Georgia, Florida, and Texas are soliciting fresh produce broadly—bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus fruits, and other produce staples—as part of regular school nutrition and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program procurement. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual work being transacted, which centers on institutional fresh produce supply to school lunch and breakfast programs and state food service operations, not the seedless sugar apple category specifically.

School districts and school boards drive the recent solicitation activity, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock 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), Douglas County School System (Georgia serving 30 districts through GEC Buying Cooperative), and the State of Georgia. Recent opportunities use RFB, IFB, RFP, and ITB notice types with response dates clustered between March and July 2026. Hancock County's IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) are representative. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida. The code shows no evidence of current market activity aligned with its commodity specification, making it unsuitable for business development targeting state and local procurement.
