UNSPSC 50533902: Dried non GMO arctic beauty kiwi fruits

The variety of non GMO kiwi fruit known as non GMO arctic beauty kiwi fruit 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 50533902 Dried non-GMO arctic beauty kiwi fruits, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the nominal code scope. The source records six recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code, but only one—Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026)—explicitly names kiwis among over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty items. The remaining five opportunities are substantially broader grocery and food service procurements: Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items contract (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items including breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meats; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) covering food service and on-campus canteen operations with historical annual value of $1.5 million; Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026) with estimated three-year value of $17.8 million; Georgia's general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026); and Pascagoula-Gautier School District's packaged seven-day meal boxes for summer food service (Bid No. 609-26, due April 29, 2026). None of these five solicitations focus on dried kiwi fruits or appear to source the code as a primary line item.

Recent activity under this code spans school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Pascagoula-Gautier), a county board of commissioners (Hillsborough), a state health agency (Texas HHS), and a state general services procurement (Georgia), concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest. All school district opportunities are subject to National School Lunch Program compliance and Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content. Pricing is firm fixed for all school nutrition contracts, with no fuel or freight surcharges permitted; payment terms are Net 30 to Net 45 days. Vendor requirements typically include HACCP plans, food safety inspection records, nutritional analyses, product formulation statements, liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence), and debarment verification. The code itself does not appear to drive procurement volume; the mismatch between the nominal commodity (dried non-GMO arctic beauty kiwi fruits) and the actual scope of recent opportunities (broad-based food service, produce, and grocery supply) signals that this code may be incorrectly assigned to these solicitations or carries minimal relevance in state and local procurement decision-making.
