UNSPSC 50531711: Dried non GMO mysore bananas

The variety of non GMO bananas known as non GMO mysore 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 50531711 Dried non GMO Mysore bananas, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The posted solicitations focus on broad grocery procurement, fresh produce, meal preparation services, and food-service consumables for schools, senior centers, and state-supported living facilities — categories that span fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared meals rather than specialty dried banana products. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific commodity it nominates.

State and local issuing bodies in the recent opportunity set include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). The geographic spread spans Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi across opportunities posted between April and June 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with a June 30, 2026 due date supporting the National School Lunch Program; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce across 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 due date; and the Hillsborough County ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million and a June 25, 2026 response date. None of these opportunities specifically request dried non-GMO Mysore bananas, and the code assignment appears to be a cataloging mismatch rather than a meaningful procurement signal in this tier.
