UNSPSC 50534408: Dried non GMO fortune oranges

The variety of non GMO mandarin oranges and tangerines known as non GMO fortune oranges 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 50534408 Dried non-GMO fortune oranges is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. Recent opportunities bearing this code are soliciting comprehensive grocery items, fresh produce, boxed meals, and food service for school districts, senior services, and state facilities — categories spanning produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods that fall well outside the scope of a single dried citrus product. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; the 14 posted solicitations in the dataset are mislabeled under this commodity and do not reflect procurement for dried non-GMO fortune oranges specifically.

No state or local government procurement activity for dried non-GMO fortune oranges is evident in recent notices. The opportunities posted are concentrated among school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Fairfax, Meriden, Douglas County, Pascagoula-Gautier), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services, State of Georgia), and county purchasing offices (Hillsborough County, Douglas County), soliciting main-line food service suppliers, produce vendors, and meal preparation contractors on contracts ranging from $1.5 million to $17.8 million over one to three years. Issuance bodies reflect standard school nutrition procurement cycles with response dates concentrated in April through July 2026. Geographic activity spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Virginia. A vendor evaluating this UNSPSC code should treat it as inactive for dried citrus or specialty fruit products and verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
