UNSPSC 50533307: Dried non GMO ruby red grapefruit

The variety of non GMO grapefruit known as non GMO ruby red 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 50533307 Dried non-GMO ruby red grapefruit is a Commodity code capturing a narrow product line that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically seeking dried ruby red grapefruit or other dried citrus fruits under this code. State and local food service procurement departments—including school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and general food supply contracts—have issued multiple invitations and requests for proposal in the past two months, but their scopes span comprehensive grocery baskets, fresh produce assortments, meal preparation and delivery, and related food items rather than specialty dried fruits. The code nominally covers a discrete agricultural product, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it reflect broader food-commodity procurement instead.

School districts in Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida, along with a state health and human services commission, county commissioners, and city purchasing departments, have posted active solicitations for food services and grocery supply during the first half of 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) have each solicited fresh produce, grocery items, and comprehensive food-supply contracts—typically through IFB or RFP mechanisms with response deadlines ranging from late April through mid-July 2026 and contract terms running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million. The sourcing across these jurisdictions shows concentration in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with visible activity in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas. No recent opportunity in the block specifically targets dried grapefruit or other specialty dried citrus as a line item or primary procurement focus; this code appears dormant for state and local contracting purposes.
