UNSPSC 50533001: Dried non GMO pink dragonfruit

The variety of non GMO dragonfruit known as non GMO pink dragonfruit 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 50533001 Dried non GMO pink dragonfruit (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under the code. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code — a Pascagoula-Gautier School District bid for packaged meal boxes under the Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program — makes no mention of dried dragonfruit or any specialty dried fruits. The broader opportunities posted across school districts, counties, and state agencies purchasing produce and food service items focus on fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, melons, citrus), conventional grocery staples, and meal preparation services. None of the six recent solicitations document demand for dried non-GMO pink dragonfruit as a line item or component.

The code shows minimal actionable recent activity. A single school district posting and five broader grocery or produce RFPs and IFBs posted between April and June 2026 do not establish a pattern of state and local procurement in this specialty commodity. The recent opportunities span the Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB, over 1,100 line items including fresh and frozen produce), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB for general food and consumable products at $1.5 million historical value), Hancock County Schools in Georgia (IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida (ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services, $17.8 million over three years), the State of Georgia (unspecified scope in attached document), and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi (packaged meal boxes). Absent explicit procurement data supporting dried dragonfruit demand at state or local level, the code does not warrant pursuit.
