UNSPSC 50534002: Dried non GMO limequat kumquats

The variety of non GMO kumquats known as non GMO limequat kumquats 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 50534002 Dried non-GMO limequats kumquats is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty dried citrus products, but recent state and local opportunities show little activity directly matching this narrow specification. State and local governments soliciting under this code and related food procurement categories are buying broad grocery baskets for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply — including fresh produce, prepared meals, and general food consumables. The issuing bodies span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county commissions (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state departments (State of Georgia). School districts and nutrition departments represent the largest share of recent solicitations under this and adjacent food-service codes.

Recent opportunities clustered in June 2026 include Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items RFP with electronic bids due June 30, 2026 (covering over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, produce, dairy, and meat products for the National School Lunch Program); Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for the 2026–27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026 (over 200 produce line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and specialty citrus); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' senior meal preparation and delivery services ITB with bids due June 25, 2026 (estimated contract value $17,832,659.90 over three years). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with bids due July 13, 2026, historically valued at $1.5 million annually. Activity spans Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Mississippi. Dried non-GMO limequats kumquats as a discrete commodity show no specific solicitation line items in the recent postings; vendors pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition and institutional food service RFPs where specialty produce items may be incorporated into larger procurements.
