UNSPSC 50532905: Dried non GMO gundila dates

The variety of non GMO dates known as non GMO gundila dates 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 50532905 Dried non GMO gundila dates is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope — the solicitations captured are for broad grocery procurement, fresh produce, senior meal services, and packaged meal boxes, none of which specifically target dried gundila dates or even dried date products as line items. State and local governments use this code tier to tag food service contracts, but the actual buying activity does not narrow to the specialized product named.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida). Geographic distribution spans Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting over 1,100 grocery line items for school nutrition (IFB due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education seeking fresh produce across 200-plus items including multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty produce (IFB due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting food and consumable products for a state-supported living center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026). The code shows recent activity but no specific demand signal for dried non-GMO gundila dates in current procurement.
