UNSPSC 50532401: Dried non GMO bays cherimoya

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO bays cherimoya 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 50532401 Dried non GMO bays cherimoya is a Commodity code nominally designating a specific dried fruit product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect purchases of cherimoya or other specialty dried fruits. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for broad-based food service procurement spanning grocery items, fresh produce, prepared meals, and kitchen supplies for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The actual work being solicited includes fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, melons, citrus), packaged grocery staples, prepared and shelf-stable meals, and consumable food products meeting National School Lunch Program or Adult Care Food Program standards, typically subject to Buy American domestic-content requirements (minimum 51 percent for processed products) and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition compliance. Issuing bodies include school districts, county boards of education, county commissioners' offices, state health and human services agencies, and municipal purchasing departments. The procurement spans routine cafeteria supply contracts, emergency meal-service programs, and specialized nutrition delivery for seniors and vulnerable populations.

Recent solicitation activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and selected other states. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases (Solicitation BNB052266) requested bids for over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services, with electronic bids due June 30, 2026, under an RFP structure with firm pricing through June 30, 2027 and delivery to a central warehouse and school sites. Hancock County Board of Education in Sparta, Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027) sought fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026-27 school year with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB HHS0017449) solicited food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 and a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million.

The code shows no evidence of actual cherimoya or specialty dried-fruit procurement.
