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 nominally describes a single specialty produce item, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect that specificity. The code appears across school district food service procurements, county nutrition programs, and state facility supply contracts that span hundreds of line items encompassing fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, meat, condiments, and prepared meals — none of which match the narrow dried-fruit specification embedded in the code name. State and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all tag for grocery and food-service purchasing rather than as a precision classifier for dried mogi loquats specifically. The actual work being solicited ranges from school lunch program ingredients subject to Buy American and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance to senior meal preparation and delivery services, institutional food supply for state-supported living centers, and child nutrition summer programs. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and county health systems. The code shows no meaningful activity in dried specialty-fruit procurement; instead it reflects broad food-service commodity purchasing across educational, aging-services, and human-services agencies.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Hillsborough County senior meals), Georgia (statewide food and kitchen supplies), Texas (El Paso state facility), Connecticut (Bridgeport schools), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier schools), and points across multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026, estimated value $17.8 million over three years); Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items procurement (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, over 1,100 line items across breakfast, produce, dairy, and meat with Buy American and 51 percent domestic agriculture requirements); Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, prior-period historical value $1.5 million); and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce for school nutrition (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026, over 200 line items of fresh produce with 51 percent domestic commodity requirements). No solicitations in the recent-opportunities block actually solicit dried non GMO mogi loquats as a standalone item. Code misclassification or over-tagging appears to be driving activity under this Commodity code; business development professionals should verify the actual scope of opportunities before pursuing bids flagged under this designation.
