UNSPSC 50533302: Dried non GMO duncan grapefruit

The variety of non GMO grapefruit known as non GMO duncan grapefruit 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 50533302 Dried non GMO Duncan grapefruit (Commodity) covers dried citrus fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, state health and human services agencies, and county food service operations. The code sees activity primarily in school breakfast and lunch programs subject to the National School Lunch Program and Buy American Provision requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), as well as in congregate meal services for seniors and state-supported living facilities. Recent solicitations show dried grapefruit and similar dried fruits being requested as part of broader grocery or produce line items rather than as standalone commodity purchases, typically bundled with fresh produce, frozen items, and other breakfast or snack components that must meet Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards and whole grain requirements.

School districts across the Southeast and mid-Atlantic region dominate recent activity, with representative opportunities posted by the City of Bridgeport (Bridgeport Board of Education) on an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia on an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026; and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi on sealed bids for packaged meal boxes due April 29, 2026. State-level procurement also appears in the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 11, 2026 IFB (HHS0017449) for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million, and in the State of Georgia's May 15, 2026 solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted an ITB on June 3, 2026 for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years, though this opportunity addresses prepared meals rather than raw ingredient procurement. Vendors must navigate Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, nutritional labeling requirements, product testing at vendor expense, and substantial insurance requirements (typically $1 million to $2 million per occurrence).
