UNSPSC 50526906: Non GMO red delight tamarillos

The variety of non GMO tamarillo known as non GMO red delight 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 50526906 Non GMO red delight tamarillos is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty heirloom tamarillo varieties—does not match the fresh produce work actually being solicited by state and local governments. Recent opportunities under this code span bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, potatoes, eggs, and a broad range of institutional fresh produce for school nutrition programs, none of which are tamarillos or specialty tropical fruit aligned with the code's stated descriptor.

School districts and county education boards across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Douglas County School System operating a cooperative purchasing vehicle spanning 30 districts across two geographic areas. Recent representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (response due July 29, 2026) at an estimated annual contract value of $78,000, and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative, serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (response due March 4, 2026). Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally-grown produce within 200 miles (response due May 4, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items (response due June 26, 2026), and Liberty County Board of Education's dual IFBs for produce and comprehensive food products (response due April 29, 2026) are representative of the institutional volume. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida. Most solicitations use IFB or RFP structures, specify Buy American requirements, require HACCP plans and traceability documentation, and typically award to lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a line-item basis with options for multiple vendors.
