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 is a Commodity code covering a single dried fruit product, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows virtually no direct solicitation for the named product. The recent opportunities posted do not request dried triumph grapefruit specifically; instead, they solicit broad food and consumable products for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service operations. The issuing bodies represent school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Pascagoula-Gautier), county governments (Hillsborough County), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and regional public bodies. School nutrition procurement dominates the mix, with multiple districts and state nutrition programs seeking fresh produce, packaged goods, and food-service commodities to meet National School Lunch Program and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act compliance requirements. These solicitations encompass hundreds of line items spanning fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen products, dairy, meat, baked goods, and specialty items—a portfolio far broader than dried grapefruit alone.

Geographic activity spans Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB HHS0017449), Florida (Hillsborough County senior meals, ITB 26-00289), Georgia (fresh produce and kitchen products, PE55645NONST2026000000009), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education groceries, BNB052266), Georgia (Hancock County fresh produce, PE67080NONST2027000000013), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier packaged meal boxes, Bid 609-26). The Bridgeport Board of Education IFB (due June 30, 2026) requests over 1,100 grocery line items with 51 percent domestic agricultural content, firm pricing through June 2027, and compliance with blind testing and nutritional standards. The Hancock County Board of Education IFB (due June 26, 2026) seeks over 200 fresh-produce line items across apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus for July 2026–June 2027 delivery. The Hillsborough County ITB (due June 25, 2026) for senior meal preparation and delivery is valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years and requires caterer licensing on the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs list. No recent solicitation names dried triumph grapefruit as a line item or primary commodity, suggesting this code carries minimal relevant activity in state and local procurement right now.
