UNSPSC 50534105: Dried non GMO eureka lemons

The variety of non GMO lemons known as non GMO eureka lemons 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 50534105 Dried non-GMO Eureka lemons (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The most recent opportunities in the data reflect school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food procurement focused on fresh produce, packaged meals, and prepared food service — not dried citrus products. The City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program, the Hancock County Schools fresh produce bid for the 2026–27 school year, and the Hillsborough County senior meal preparation and delivery contract all specify broad fresh and processed food categories, but none isolate or emphasize dried non-GMO lemons as a line item or procurement focus. The code shows little relevant recent activity.

Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, Hancock County in Georgia), a state health agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and a state government procurement (State of Georgia). These jurisdictions are pursuing fresh produce, meal service, and institutional food supply contracts tied to child nutrition programs, adult meal services, and facility food operations, with contract terms typically spanning one to three years and Buy American requirements for domestic agricultural content at 51 percent or higher. Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi. The scale and frequency of school district and county nutrition procurement dwarfs any specific commodity line — dried Eureka lemons, if procured at all under this code, would represent a marginal component within broader fresh or processed fruit categories rather than standalone solicitation focus.
