UNSPSC 50531566: Dried non GMO pitmaston pineapple apples

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO pitmaston pineapple apples that have been dried for preservation. 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 50531566 Dried non GMO pitmaston pineapple apples is a Commodity code that nominally targets a single specialty fruit product, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the specific commodity name. The opportunities posted under this code span broad food and consumable purchasing across school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply — including fresh produce, packaged meal boxes, grocery staples, and prepared meal delivery rather than dried specialty apples. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county governments (Hillsborough County Commission in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state-level procurement (State of Georgia). Most recent activity centers on National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products, and HACCP and food safety certification requirements.

Geographic concentration appears in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Mississippi based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' grocery items RFQ for the Board of Education (due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items with firm fixed pricing and Net 45 payment terms), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for school year 2026-27 (due June 26, 2026, covering 200-plus produce line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables with July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products IFB for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and initial term September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027), and Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services ITB (due June 25, 2026, with estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 and mandatory Florida Department of Elderly Affairs catering license requirement). The code exhibits significant mismatch between its nominal commodity designation and actual procurement activity, which spans institutional foodservice broadly rather than the specialty dried fruit product named.
