UNSPSC 50534106: Dried non GMO lisbon lemons

The variety of non GMO lemons known as non GMO lisbon 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 50534106 Dried non-GMO Lisbon lemons, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried Lisbon lemons or dried citrus products. Recent opportunities tagged under this code span school nutrition, senior meals, and institutional food service procurement—encompassing fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, eggs, and prepared meals for K-12 districts, state health agencies, county commissioners, and municipal systems. These solicitations request fresh citrus (apples, berries, carrots, potatoes, leafy greens, and other produce categories) and prepared foods rather than dried specialty citrus commodities.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being procured suggests this Commodity code sees minimal relevant activity in state and local markets at present. Vendors pursuing opportunities in institutional food service should monitor higher-tier produce and grocery categories where school districts, health agencies, and county governments actively solicit fresh fruits, vegetables, and comprehensive food supply contracts. The recent procurement cycle (January through June 2026) shows substantial volume in Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 ($3.1 million anticipated value in Meriden, Connecticut; $9 million estimated annual spend in Douglas County, Georgia), Hancock County Schools fresh produce (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County fresh produce (72 line items), and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education grocery items (over 1,100 line items)—none of which specify dried Lisbon lemons as a requirement.
