UNSPSC 50532301: Dried non GMO chataigne breadfruit

The variety of non GMO breadfruit known as non GMO chataigne breadfruit that has 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 50532301 Dried non-GMO chataigne breadfruit (Commodity) describes a narrow specialty agricultural product, yet state and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent solicitations matching the commodity's actual scope—the recent opportunities are heavily weighted toward broad grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, and meal services for schools, counties, and municipalities that incidentally encompass dozens or hundreds of food line items, not the specific dried chataigne breadfruit product the code nominally describes. The code's recent activity reflects state and local governments buying comprehensive food service baskets (including produce, proteins, dairy, grains, snacks, and beverages) rather than individual specialty dried-fruit commodities. Issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and City of Dallas, Texas), with school nutrition programs representing the dominant buyer type. The 14 recent opportunities show little if any dedicated procurement of dried chataigne breadfruit itself; instead, they reflect large-volume, recurring food supply contracts in which such specialty items, if purchased at all, would appear as one line item among hundreds.

Geographic concentration is evident in the Southeast, particularly Georgia (State of Georgia fresh produce IFB, Bulloch County, Douglas County, Hancock County, and Savannah-Chatham County), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Connecticut (Meriden and Bridgeport), with activity also in Texas (HHSC and Dallas) and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Recent representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) encompassing grocery delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens on a July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 term; Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods procurement (RFP 02641, proposals due February 25, 2026, anticipated award value $3.1 million, contract start July 1, 2026) covering beef, poultry, produce, and condiments across 13 school sites; and Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP (RFP 26-003, proposals due February 18, 2026, estimated annual spend $9 million) for main-line distributor services to 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students. The code's recent solicitation record shows little relevant activity for dried specialty produce—this is a misalignment between the commodity code's nominal scope and the broad-basket grocery contracts dominating state and local procurement under the filing.
