UNSPSC 50527028: Non GMO rambutan

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO rambutan. 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 50527028 Non GMO rambutan (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code does not appear in recent school nutrition, food service, or institutional purchasing solicitations. The available opportunities record fresh produce procurement by Georgia and Texas school districts, school boards, and independent school districts—spanning petite bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, carrots, tomatoes, citrus fruits, and eggs—but no rambutan or specialty tropical fruits appear in any of the documented bids, RFPs, or IFBs posted since February 2026. The issuing bodies are exclusively K–12 school nutrition programs, which are the primary state and local buyers of fresh produce under related commodity codes.

The recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary representation from Florida and Wisconsin. Georgia dominates the record: Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia, multiple bids), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia) posted bids or RFPs between February and July 2026. Texas representation includes McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029, due March 6, 2026) and Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026). Florida's Hillsborough County Public Schools solicited fresh fruit and vegetable program produce (RFP 26039RFQDST). The Douglas County School System coordinated procurement for 30 districts across two Georgia regions through a cooperative buying vehicle. School lunch and breakfast program support, along with USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program participation, drive the volume. No active procurement under UNSPSC 50527028 or comparable tropical-fruit codes is documented in the available records.
