UNSPSC 50527022: Non GMO mombins

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO mombins. 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 50527022 Non GMO mombins is a Commodity code that state and local procurement offices label as such, though the recent solicitations show the code actually captures school district food service procurement for fresh fruit—particularly bananas and fresh produce staples—rather than the code's nominal scope. Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 (bids due July 29, 2026) illustrates the mismatch: it solicits petite bananas in 150-count case packs sized 5" to 5.5" at specified ripeness stages, requiring delivery to a single production facility with strict temperature and fill-rate controls, while RFB 4163 (same due date) requests fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison for the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program serving elementary students. The code shows little activity aligned to its nominal product definition; instead, recent school nutrition procurement under this taxonomy tends to span broader fresh-produce portfolios across multiple fruit and vegetable categories rather than mombins specifically.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Georgia districts—Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, and Douglas County School System—appearing most frequently in recent activity. Texas districts (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan) also posted solicitations. Representative opportunities include Hancock County's IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items (bids due June 26, 2026) spanning apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school sites, and Douglas County's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (proposals due March 4, 2026) covering approximately 72 line items and serving 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Activity clusters in Georgia and the Southeast, with secondary presence in Texas and the upper Midwest; all recent opportunities use RFB, RFP, or IFB notice types with response dates between February and July 2026.
