UNSPSC 50532403: Dried non GMO burtons cherimoya

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO burtons 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 50532403 Dried non-GMO Burtons cherimoya is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. While the code describes a specific dried fruit product, the recent opportunities tagged under this code span broad grocery procurement categories — packaged meal boxes, fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply for schools and facilities, and meal preparation services — with no solicitation actually specifying dried cherimoya or any comparable specialty dried fruit item.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity is substantial. State and local governments do procure food products for school districts, senior meal programs, and state-supported facilities, but the recent opportunities in this dataset target mainstream commodities: fresh apples, berries, vegetables, and dairy for school nutrition programs; packaged grocery staples for cafeteria operations; and prepared meal delivery for seniors and municipal events. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport, Fairfax County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Pascagoula-Gautier, and Meriden Public Schools), state agencies (Georgia, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipalities (Hillsborough County, Dallas). The opportunities cluster in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Virginia, and Mississippi. Representative recent solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery bid (IFB, due June 30, 2026) for over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, frozen products, fruits, and vegetables; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP (due February 18, 2026) estimated at $9 million annually for delivery to 32 schools. Specialized products like dried non-GMO cherimoya do not appear in any of these procurement notices, suggesting limited state and local demand for this commodity tier.
