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 classifies a specific fresh produce item — a varietal of tree fruit sold to food service and institutional buyers — but state and local procurement activity under this exact code is sparse and does not reflect the broader produce-sourcing patterns evident across related solicitations. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically naming non-GMO red delight tamarillos or targeting this commodity; instead, recent school nutrition departments, regional parks, and county food service programs are soliciting fresh fruit and vegetable products under broader produce codes and open-market RFBs that may include specialty items but do not isolate this varietal. The issuing bodies pursuing produce across the commodity spectrum include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county parks departments (Collier County), a state education agency (State of Georgia), and specialized nutrition coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), with school-nutrition programs as the dominant buyer class.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest — Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Early County Schools, State of Georgia), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County) — with the most representative opportunities being Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 (petite bananas, 70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items and including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026), and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 requiring local sourcing within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026). No recent state or local solicitation identified in the source is tagged exclusively to UNSPSC 50526906 or names non-GMO red delight tamarillos as a line item, suggesting this Commodity code tracks a niche product with limited current state and local institutional demand.
