UNSPSC 50534201: Dried non GMO indian sweet limes

The variety of non GMO limes known as non GMO indian sweet limes 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 50534201 Dried non-GMO Indian sweet limes is a Commodity code that does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity shown. The opportunities tagged under this code span comprehensive school nutrition grocery supply (spanning 1,100+ line items of breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat across Bridgeport, Connecticut; Fairfax County, Virginia; Bulloch County, Georgia; and Hancock County, Georgia), fresh produce procurement for school districts and state-supported facilities (including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, and tomatoes across Georgia and Mississippi), senior meal preparation and delivery services spanning congregate and home-delivery to 25+ dining centers in Florida, and state and municipal food service operations across Texas, Connecticut, and Georgia. None of the recent solicitations identify dried non-GMO Indian sweet limes as a line item or focus; the code appears to have been assigned in error to broad grocery and produce procurement notices rather than a specialized citrus commodity.

The issuing bodies are primarily large school districts and boards of education (Bridgeport, Fairfax County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Meriden, Douglas County, Pascagoula-Gautier), supplemented by a state health and human services commission (Texas), a county commission (Hillsborough, Florida), a city purchasing department (Dallas, Meriden), and state procurement offices (Georgia). Recent activity clusters in the Southeast—Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Virginia, Mississippi—with secondary activity in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for 1,100+ grocery line items (response deadline June 30, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (response deadline April 27, 2026), Douglas County Schools' February 2026 RFP for food supply and distribution across 32 schools with $9 million estimated annual spend (response deadline February 18, 2026), and Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items (response deadline June 26, 2026). The code's nominal scope—dried non-GMO Indian sweet limes—bears no relation to the actual procurement activity recorded, signaling either a data-quality issue in the state or local procurement systems or a systematic miscoding of food-service consolidations.
