UNSPSC 50526902: Non GMO bold gold tamarillos

The variety of non GMO tamarillo known as non GMO bold gold tamarillo. 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 50526902 Non GMO bold gold tamarillos, a Commodity code, identifies fresh fruit produce for institutional food service operations, though recent state and local solicitation activity shows little or no procurement specific to tamarillos. Instead, state and local buyers post opportunities for broad fresh produce categories — bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, seasonal local sourcing — and tamarillos do not appear as a line item or focus across the available recent notices. School districts, county park systems, and regional health coalitions drive the bulk of recent solicitation activity under produce-related UNSPSC codes. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bartow County Schools (Georgia), and Early County Schools (Georgia) have posted multiple RFQs and IFBs for fresh produce in the past six months, with emphasis on volume weekly or seasonal commitments, compliance with food safety and traceability requirements, and delivery logistics to multiple school sites. Collier County Parks and Recreation (Florida) solicited food concession services that include produce provision through an Invitation to Negotiate. Local-vendor preferences are common — several school districts impose 400-mile sourcing radii and geographic preference scoring — and Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content apply in several school-system bids.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin school districts, with secondary activity in Florida (county parks) and multistate produce procurement from health-care coalitions. Madison Metropolitan School District RFQ 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, contract value estimated at $78,000, bids due July 29, 2026) and RFQ 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 servings weekly, Wisconsin-sourced, bids due July 29, 2026) exemplify the volume and specificity typical under this code. Hancock County Schools IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, bids due June 26, 2026, contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027) and Bartow County Schools RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables (400-mile sourcing requirement, proposals due June 22, 2026, contract July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027) show ongoing school-system procurement. Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (proposals due March 6, 2025, three-year term with local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points) spans multiple food service categories including produce. The code shows no recent activity specific to tamarillos as a standalone commodity; buyers treating the category as commodity-level procurement typically issue notices targeting broader fresh produce categories or specific high-volume items such as bananas and apples.
