UNSPSC 50526903: Non GMO goldmine tamarillos

The variety of non GMO tamarillo known as non GMO goldmine 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 50526903 Non GMO goldmine tamarillos is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity returned for this code. The opportunities posted under this code span fresh produce provision to school nutrition programs, county parks concessions, and healthcare coalition food service, but they consistently solicit for broad fresh fruit and vegetable categories — petite bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits — rather than the specific tamarillo variety named in the code. State and local issuing bodies procuring under this code include county school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County), county parks and recreation departments (Collier County), state-level food procurement (Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). The work being solicited is delivery of fresh produce meeting USDA nutritional standards, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, traceability documentation, recall procedures), and weekly or seasonal delivery schedules to school kitchens, park facilities, and healthcare food service operations.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and Wisconsin, with school districts in Hancock County, Bartow County, and Early County (all Georgia) posting IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce contracts running through June 2027, and Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issuing parallel bids for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026, and a delivery period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (within 400 miles) with proposals due June 22, 2026 and contract award anticipated July 20, 2026; and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (Wisconsin-sourced, within 400 miles) due July 29, 2026 for a September 1 through November 30, 2026 term. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025. These opportunities emphasize local and domestic sourcing preferences, organic product pricing incentives, traceability by farm of origin, and 5% to 15% geographic or diverse-vendor preference weightings in evaluation.
