UNSPSC 50533702: Dried non GMO carrley guavas

The variety of non GMO guavas known as non GMO carrley 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 50533702 Dried non-GMO barley guavas, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged with this code do not involve dried barley guavas or specialty dried fruits; instead, they span fresh produce procurement, comprehensive grocery supply for schools and institutional food service, senior meal preparation and delivery, and boxed meal catering. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual solicitations suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the products it nominally describes.

State and local food service procurement in the available data concentrates on fresh produce, staple groceries, and prepared meal services for school nutrition programs, senior services, and municipal events across multiple states. Recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Board of Education requesting grocery items (RFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Schools in Georgia soliciting fresh produce (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia issuing a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026 with estimated annual servings valued at approximately $3.1 million for Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut), Douglas County School System in Georgia seeking food supply and distribution with an estimated annual value of approximately $9 million (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida procuring senior meal preparation and delivery services for $17.8 million over three years (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026). School districts and county governments dominate the issuing-body mix; procurement activity spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. Vendors pursuing state and local food service contracts should monitor school district nutrition RFPs and IFBs rather than rely on this specific UNSPSC code for discovery.
