UNSPSC 50533309: Dried non GMO triumph grapefruit

The variety of non GMO grapefruit known as non GMO triumph 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 50533309 Dried non-GMO Triumph grapefruit, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no relevant solicitations in the available opportunities block; the recent postings tagged to this code span comprehensive food service procurement across school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, and institutional food supply — ranging from fresh produce and grocery staples to packaged meal boxes and catering services — but none specifically name dried grapefruit or dried citrus products as a line item or focus area.

The mismatch between the code's narrow product scope (dried non-GMO Triumph grapefruit) and the broad, multi-category food service solicitations suggests this Commodity code either receives minimal procurement volume through state and local channels or is being applied inconsistently. Bidders pursuing this code should verify directly with school districts, state agencies, and institutional food buyers whether dried citrus products appear in their fresh or dried produce specifications or master grocery line items, and whether procurement is consolidated under higher-tier UNSPSC codes (such as fresh or dried fruit families) rather than at the Commodity level.
