UNSPSC 50532400: Dried non GMO cherimoyas

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO cherimoyas 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 50532400 Dried non-GMO cherimoyas is a Class code that nominally describes a single dried-fruit commodity, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little direct alignment with that narrow scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad food-service and meal-program procurement across school districts, county government, and state agencies. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases is soliciting over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, spanning breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meat products; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia is requesting fresh produce across multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is soliciting food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under NIGP Class/Item numbers 385, 390, 380, and 393; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida is requesting comprehensive senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years. These solicitations span school nutrition programs, state facility food service, and county senior-meal operations, all subject to Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable), nutrition standards compliance, HACCP planning, and firm fixed pricing.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and across multiple state tiers. Recent opportunities have been posted in Connecticut (Bridgeport), Georgia (Hancock County and statewide Georgia procurement), Texas, Florida (Hillsborough County), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), with a prior-period solicitation from the State of Georgia for food, supplies, and kitchen products. School districts and county governments represent the dominant buyer class, followed by state health and human services agencies. The City of Bridgeport IFB for grocery items (BNB052266) closed June 30, 2026, with questions due June 15, 2026 via OpenGov e-Procurement; Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (SN002-2027) closed June 26, 2026, with questions due June 16, 2026; Hillsborough County ITB 26-00289 for senior meals closed June 25, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso facility food and consumables had a July 13, 2026 response deadline, with questions due June 22, 2026. The code shows little recent commodity-specific activity aligned to dried cherimoyas; procurement here is driven by meal-program and institutional food-service demand rather than specialty dried-fruit supply.
