UNSPSC 50534306: Dried non GMO gold nugget loquats

The variety of non GMO loquats known as non GMO gold nugget 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 50534306 Dried non-GMO gold nugget loquats, a Commodity code, shows no aligned recent state and local procurement activity. The fourteen opportunities tagged under this code span grocery items, fresh produce, packaged meals, and senior meal services for school districts, county governments, state agencies, and municipalities—none of which reference dried loquats or specialty dried fruits as line items or scope elements. The opportunities instead reflect broad food-service procurement for school nutrition programs, institutional dining, and senior meal delivery, where fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, and prepared items dominate solicitation content. The code appears to have been applied to these opportunities either as a catch-all commodity classification or through automated tagging that does not reflect actual product sourcing.

Recent procurement activity under this nominal code is distributed across Georgia (Douglas County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, State of Georgia), Connecticut (City of Meriden, Bridgeport Board of Education), Florida (Hillsborough County), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, City of Dallas), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), with school districts representing the primary issuing-body type and state agencies as secondary buyers. Representative solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (April 2026, due April 27), Douglas County Schools' Food Supply and Distribution RFP (January 2026, due February 18, with estimated annual value approximately $9 million), and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education grocery items IFB (June 2026, due June 30) covering over 1,100 line items across breakfast, frozen products, fruits, vegetables, and dairy. None of these opportunities identifies dried specialty fruits as a procurement need. Vendors pursuing state and local activity mapped to this code should treat it as a misclassification and focus instead on fresh produce, institutional food service, or school nutrition contracting under broader commodity families.
