UNSPSC 50534313: Dried non GMO wolfe loquats

The variety of non GMO loquats known as non GMO wolfe 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 50534313 Dried non-GMO wolfe loquats is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement covers specialized dried fruit products and their procurement for public institution food service. However, the recent solicitations tagged to this code show minimal to no relevance to dried loquats specifically; instead, they reflect broader state and local procurement for general grocery items, fresh produce, prepared meals, and food service supplies across school districts, county governments, and state health agencies. The code does not capture the actual scope of work being solicited under these opportunities—which span breakfast cereals, frozen goods, fresh fruits and vegetables, prepared senior meals, and kitchen supplies—nor does it address dried specialty fruit procurement in isolation.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county commissioners (Hillsborough County), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia), and municipalities. Recent opportunities posted between April and June 2026 include Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB 26-00289, response due June 25, 2026, estimated value $17.8 million over three years), Hancock County's fresh produce for schools (IFB SN002-2027, response due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's school grocery items (IFB BNB052266, response due June 30, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumables for a state supported living center (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026, prior-year value $1.5 million). Geographic activity is distributed across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The mismatch between the Commodity code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests this code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for dried specialty fruit products.
