UNSPSC 50534410: Dried non GMO fremont oranges

The variety of non GMO mandarin oranges and tangerines known as non GMO fremont 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 50534410 Dried non-GMO Fremont oranges is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no relevant purchasing. The source material identifies fifteen recent opportunities tagged to this code across June 2026 back to January 2026, spanning school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food procurement—yet none of them solicit dried non-GMO Fremont oranges or any dried citrus product. The opportunities instead span fresh produce (including fresh citrus), comprehensive grocery and food supply contracts, meal preparation and delivery services, and packaged meal boxes. The mismatch between the code's nominal product scope and the actual solicitations indicates either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code does not reflect current state and local demand for this specific commodity.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), city procurement offices (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases in Connecticut, City of Dallas), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, and Mississippi, with the largest recent opportunities including Hillsborough County's senior meal delivery (estimated $17.8 million over three years, ITB due June 25, 2026) and Douglas County's food supply and distribution services (estimated $9 million annually, RFP due February 18, 2026). If pursuit under this code is intended, verify the actual commodity specification in the issuing body's detailed bid documents before committing resources—the code's nominal scope does not align with solicitation activity.
