UNSPSC 50534308: Dried non GMO mogi loquats

The variety of non GMO loquats known as non GMO mogi 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 50534308 Dried non-GMO mogi loquats is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no procurement activity for dried non-GMO mogi loquats or comparable specialty produce items; instead, the opportunities span broad-based food service contracting for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply and distribution. The code appears to be a classification mismatch in the underlying procurement databases rather than a live category for state and local buying.

The opportunities in the tagged set target school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipal governments across Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and Texas, seeking comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, and meal preparation services. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 bid for over 1,100 line items of grocery products for school nutrition (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 fresh produce solicitation spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty items across 200 line items (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); and Douglas County School System's February 2026 food supply and distribution RFP for approximately 32,000 daily meals with an estimated $9 million annual value (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026). These procurements center on Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, direct delivery to multiple school and institutional sites, and USDA nutritional standards, not specialty dried fruit items. The code shows no meaningful activity aligned with its nominal product description and should not be pursued based on the current opportunity stream.
