UNSPSC 50534304: Dried non GMO champagne loquats

The variety of non GMO loquats known as non GMO champagne loquats 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 50534304 Dried non-GMO champagne loquats is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit fresh produce, bulk grocery items, prepared meals, and food-service supplies for school nutrition programs, county meal services, and state facilities — none of which involve dried champagne loquats or specialized dried fruit products. The issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Meriden Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county systems (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, City of Dallas), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and state-supported living centers. School nutrition programs and food-service operations dominate the issuing-body mix, with no vendors actively pursuing specialty dried-fruit commodities in the recent solicitation record.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia, with school districts representing the primary customer base across all states. Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education grocery procurement (RFP/IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items of mainstream grocery items for the National School Lunch Program); the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, requiring a minimum of 76 items from a standardized school grocery list); and the Douglas County School System food-supply RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026, supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000). None of these opportunities or others in the block target specialty dried fruits or non-GMO champagne loquats, indicating that either the code assignment is misaligned with actual procurement or the product category commands no meaningful state and local demand in the current market.
