UNSPSC 50534312: Dried non GMO victory vista white loquats

The variety of non GMO loquats known as non GMO victory vista white 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 50534312 Dried non-GMO Victory Vista white loquats is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific dried fruit product, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's literal scope. The opportunities instead span broad school nutrition and institutional food service procurement — grocery items for school lunch programs, fresh produce for school cafeterias, senior meal preparation and delivery services, and food and consumable products for state-supported living facilities. When state and local procurement offices tag opportunities with this code, they are classifying general food service supply and institutional meal contracting work rather than dried loquats specifically. The issuing bodies are school districts, county boards of education, county commissioners, state health and human services agencies, and state purchasing offices — a mix of K-12 nutrition programs, aging services, and institutional food service operations. Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients in processed products) and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards are standard compliance obligations across school-based opportunities.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the South and Southeast — Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida dominate the recent opportunity set. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, and specialty items) with bids due June 26, 2026, deliverable to three school sites under a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food and Nutrition Services with electronic bids due June 30, 2026, through OpenGov e-Procurement, for a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 and a June 25, 2026 ITB deadline. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 11, 2026, citing a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. This code sees active state and local procurement activity, but the work is general food service contracting rather than dried loquats; bidders should expect school lunch programs and institutional meal services as the primary end market.
