UNSPSC 50526905: Non GMO red beau tamarillos

The variety of non GMO tamarillo known as non GMO red beau 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 50526905 Non GMO red beau tamarillos is a Commodity code representing specialty fresh fruit sold to state and local food-service operations, particularly school districts and county recreational facilities. Recent state and local opportunities show the code is being applied to broader fresh-produce procurement that includes tamarillos only incidentally or not at all — the opportunities listed span petite bananas, general fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, multi-item produce for school nutrition programs, and concession-stand food services. The actual buying activity is dominated by school districts and county boards of education sourcing fresh produce for cafeteria meal programs and USDA-funded nutrition initiatives, with one county recreational facility (Collier County) and one healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition) also active. The geographic spread reflects school-district procurement concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin, with ancillary activity in Florida and scope details from Marion Health Care Coalition's location not specified in the source.

Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 requesting petite bananas at 70–90 cases weekly (due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles with contract award anticipated for July 20, 2026, and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN 258360 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points (due March 6, 2025). School districts typically evaluate on cost, product quality and availability, compliance with food-safety standards, and geographic or local-sourcing preferences; Buy American and HACCP plan submissions are standard. The code shows no distinctive activity specific to non-GMO red beau tamarillos — sourcing, pricing, and award patterns follow general fresh-produce procurement in school nutrition.
