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 that captures dried specialty fruit procurement, though the recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct demand for this specific item. The represented opportunities span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts across multiple states, with the overwhelming majority targeting fresh produce, groceries, and comprehensive food service delivery rather than dried specialty fruits. School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies, with additional activity from state health and human services departments, county commissioners' offices, and municipalities. The scope of work under codes tagged in this category emphasizes fresh vegetables and fruits, packaged meals, breakfast and lunch staples, snacks, beverages, condiments, dairy products, and proteins—items meeting federal nutrition standards (including whole grain, sodium, and artificial ingredient restrictions), Buy American requirements, and USDA compliance for school lunch programs. Vendors regularly absorb transportation and packing costs, maintain cold-chain logistics, and deliver to multiple school sites or institutional facilities on weekly or as-needed schedules.

Recent solicitation activity appears concentrated in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, and Mississippi, with the most substantial recent opportunities including Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB-26-00289, response deadline June 25, 2026, estimated value $17.8 million over three years); Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution procurement (RFP 26-003, response deadline February 18, 2026, estimated annual spend $9 million); Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods supply (RFP 026-41, response deadline February 25, 2026, anticipated value $3.1 million annually); and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, response deadline April 27, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System also issued fresh produce bids (both due in late June and April 2026, respectively), as did the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases on behalf of Bridgeport Board of Education (due June 30, 2026, covering 1,100+ grocery line items). The code appears underutilized for its nominal commodity focus; vendors pursuing work here should treat the dried specialty fruit classification as peripheral and focus instead on bulk fresh produce, institutional grocery supply, and food service logistics as the primary opportunity set.
