UNSPSC 50533002: Dried non GMO yellow dragonfruit

The variety of non GMO dragonfruit known as non GMO yellow 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 50533002 Dried non-GMO yellow dragonfruit, a Commodity code, reflects minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no state or local opportunities specifically soliciting dried non-GMO yellow dragonfruit or any close variant of this specialty produce item in the recent opportunities dataset. Recent solicitations tagged to this code or adjacent produce codes span fresh produce, grocery items for school nutrition and senior meal programs, and food distribution services—categories that include mainstream fresh fruits and vegetables (apples, berries, leafy greens, citrus), processed foods, and complete meal-preparation services rather than specialty dried tropical fruits.

State and local procurement under broader food-service and produce codes remains active across school districts, county governments, and state agencies, particularly for K-12 nutrition programs. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting grocery items (over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, and dairy) for the Board of Education with electronic bids due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting fresh produce via IFB for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026; Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing an RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with proposal deadline March 4, 2026; and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) procuring commercial groceries, produce, and USDA Foods with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3,100,000 and proposals due February 25, 2026. The code shows activity primarily in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia school districts and county systems. The absence of solicitations naming dried non-GMO yellow dragonfruit suggests this commodity does not fit the mainstream product mix state and local nutrition programs currently procure—fresh and frozen mainstream produce, ambient-shelf produce, and commodity staples dominate recent opportunity scope.
