UNSPSC 50531706: Dried non GMO green bananas

The variety of non GMO bananas known as non GMO green bananas 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 50531706 Dried non-GMO green bananas is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded in the source. The recent opportunities block contains fourteen solicitations spanning grocery items, fresh produce, food service, meal delivery, and meal boxes for school districts, county commissions, state agencies, and municipal governments across Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia; none of these opportunities specifically reference dried green bananas or dried banana products. The opportunities instead reflect demand for fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), prepared foods, canned and frozen goods, dairy, proteins, condiments, and related kitchen supplies tied to school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service operations.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity suggests that either the code was applied to these opportunities incorrectly by the issuing body, or dried non-GMO green bananas command minimal procurement activity in state and local markets. No recent solicitations for dried banana products, dried fruit supplies, or specialty dried produce appear in the dataset. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices are genuinely tagging dried green banana sourcing under UNSPSC 50531706, as the evidence does not support material activity in this commodity class among state agencies, school districts, counties, or municipalities as of mid-2026.
