UNSPSC 50533701: Dried non GMO beaumont guavas

The variety of non GMO guavas known as non GMO beaumont guavas that have 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 50533701 Dried non-GMO Beaumont guavas, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code or related fresh and processed produce categories reflect broad food-service sourcing for school districts, county health and human services facilities, and municipal catering operations—spanning fresh produce, packaged groceries, dairy, meats, and prepared meals—but none specifically identify dried guavas or specialty tropical fruit products as line items or performance requirements.

State and local buyers soliciting under adjacent produce and food-supply codes are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier Schools, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia), county commissioners and health authorities (Hillsborough County, Texas Health and Human Services Commission for El Paso State Supported Living Center), city purchasing offices (Bridgeport, Dallas, Meriden), and cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). Contracts for fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery supply are recurring, with school nutrition programs accounting for the majority of activity. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) spanning 76 minimum grocery items delivered to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods procurement (RFP 02641, due February 25, 2026, anticipated contract value approximately $3.1 million); Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026, estimated annual value approximately $9 million); and the GEC Buying Cooperative's Fresh Produce and Eggs RFP serving 30 Georgia districts (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated combined annual spending approximately $5.5 million). Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026) represents estimated contract value of $17.8 million over three years. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi; all contracts require Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, firm-fixed pricing throughout initial terms, and delivery within specified windows. Specialty dried fruit procurement at the commodity level does not surface in these solicitations; vendors pursuing this code should assess whether state and local food-service buyers are incorporating specialty produce into broader fresh-produce or snack-item specifications.
