UNSPSC 50532604: Dried non GMO bushakan citrons

The variety of non GMO citrons known as non GMO bushakan citrons that have 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 50532604 Dried non-GMO bushakan citrons, a Commodity code, rarely appears in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains six recent opportunities tagged under this code or related food UNSPSC families, but none of them solicits dried citrons or bushakan products specifically. Instead, issuing bodies are purchasing comprehensive grocery and food-service items—fresh produce, packaged meal boxes, senior meals, and general kitchen supplies—for school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, and county senior services. The code's nominal product scope diverges sharply from what is actually being bought in the market right now, signaling either misclassification in state and local procurement systems or minimal genuine demand for this particular commodity.

Recent opportunities span multiple jurisdictions and states: the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for school food service, due June 30, 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, historical value $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia (IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items, due June 26, 2026); Hillsborough County, Florida (ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services, estimated three-year value $17,832,659.90, due June 25, 2026); State of Georgia (solicitation for food, supplies, and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026); and Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Mississippi (sealed bids for packaged meal boxes, due April 29, 2026). The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county governments focused on child nutrition and senior services. Given the absence of any recent opportunity actually seeking dried citrons or bushakan products, pursuit under this code is not supported by current market activity.
