UNSPSC 50532404: Dried non GMO jete cherimoya

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO jete 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 50532404 Dried non-GMO jete cherimoya is a Commodity code that in practice covers bulk food and produce items state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The recent opportunities posted under this code show that state and local buyers are sourcing a wide range of grocery staples, fresh produce, and prepared meal components rather than the specific dried fruit the code nominally describes. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies in the recent record, consistently soliciting fresh produce, packaged goods, and meal components to meet National School Lunch Program requirements and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards; state health and human services agencies and county boards of commissioners also participate, procuring food and consumable products for state-supported living centers and senior congregate meal programs. All solicitations require compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), HACCP food safety plans, and extensive vendor certifications including liability insurance, background screening, and debarment verification.

Activity under this code concentrates in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, with recent IFBs and ITBs posted by Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases for the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the State of Georgia. The most recent representative opportunity is Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items spanning breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meat products with electronic bids due June 30, 2026 through OpenGov e-Procurement, supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department under a July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 contract term. Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services, posted June 3, 2026 with a June 25, 2026 deadline and an estimated value of $17,832,659.90 over three years, represents larger-scale institutional food service contracting. Hancock County's fresh produce IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, covers over 200 line items of fresh produce across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and specialty items for the 2026-27 school year.
