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, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The thirteen most recent opportunities tagged to this code span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, but none of these solicitations identify dried duncan grapefruit or comparable specialty produce items as line items or scope elements. The opportunities instead reflect broad food supply and fresh-produce procurement—whole fresh apples, citrus, berries, vegetables, eggs, and complete meal service—or large-scale grocery distribution contracts serving districts of 25,500 to 30,000+ students and senior populations. The single opportunity explicitly mentioning citrus (Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year) lists standard fresh citrus items (melons, oranges, lemons) but does not call out dried grapefruit. Similarly, a Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for food and consumables at an El Paso State Supported Living Center references broad food classifications (NIGP 385, 390, 380, 393) without specialty dried-fruit itemization, and a Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract specifies over 76 line items across fresh and processed categories without isolated dried-grapefruit references.

The code shows no active recent solicitation activity aligned to its nominal scope. School districts, state agencies, and county boards of education buying under food-service UNSPSC categories are procuring fresh produce, packaged groceries, and complete meal delivery on standard annual cycles (July-June in most cases), but dried specialty citrus does not surface as a contract line item in any of the posted opportunities. This may indicate either that the code is not used by state and local procurement offices for this product, that such purchases are consolidated under broader commodity or frozen-fruit codes, or that demand for dried non-GMO duncan grapefruit in state and local food service is minimal or episodic. Vendors targeting this code should verify whether state and local nutrition programs and institutional food buyers actually source this item, and if so, whether it typically rolls up under a higher-tier fresh-fruit, dried-fruit, or specialty-produce family code in their procurement taxonomy.
