UNSPSC 50527012: Non GMO feijoa

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO feijoa. 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 50527012 Non GMO feijoa, Commodity tier — this code nominally names a specific fruit but shows little relevant recent activity. The most recent solicitations posted under this code do not match the feijoa designation; instead, they request bananas, mixed fresh produce, and vegetables for school nutrition programs. Madison Metropolitan School District posted RFB 4162 (due July 29, 2026) for petite bananas in 150-count cases at specific ripeness stages, while a second MMSD opportunity (RFB 4163, also due July 29, 2026) solicits fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison. State and local buyers soliciting under this code span school districts, including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). The State of Georgia also posted a food and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026) without full scope detail. The code shows no comparable activity under its stated commodity name.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas school districts, with Georgia dominating the recent opportunity set — Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Glynn County all issued fresh produce RFBs or IFBs between February and July 2026. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items, with delivery to three school locations; Bulloch County School District IFP for locally-grown produce (due May 4, 2026) requiring 24 items grown within 200 miles; and Douglas County School System RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) for approximately 72 line items serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas at estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area. The mismatch between the feijoa code designation and actual solicitation scope suggests either a classification error in the source data or organizational use of a nominal code to group broader fresh-produce purchasing.
