UNSPSC 50534413: Dried non GMO honey oranges

The variety of non GMO mandarin oranges and tangerines known as non GMO honey 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 50534413 Dried non-GMO honey oranges, a Commodity code, sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's product scope—specialty processed citrus—does not align with the actual solicitations tagged under it, which focus broadly on grocery procurement, fresh produce, meal services, and food supply contracts across K-12 school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and state facility food operations.

State and local procurement under this code shows no traceable activity for dried honey oranges specifically. Recent opportunities in the tagged dataset include school district grocery and fresh-produce bids from Bridgeport, Connecticut; Hancock County, Georgia; Fairfax County, Virginia; Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia; Bulloch County, Georgia; and Pascagoula-Gautier, Mississippi; a Texas Health and Human Services Commission food and consumable products solicitation for a state-supported living center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026); Meriden Public Schools grocery and USDA Foods procurement in Connecticut (RFP, anticipated award April 24, 2026, approximately $3.1 million); Hillsborough County, Florida senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026, estimated $17.8 million over three years); Dallas meal delivery for municipal events (RFCSP, due March 27, 2026, five-year term); Douglas County School System fresh produce and eggs sourcing through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend); and Douglas County food supply and distribution services (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026, approximately $9 million estimated annual spend). None of these solicitations specifically reference dried honey oranges or specialty processed citrus products. The code appears to be a categorical mismatch with actual state and local food procurement activity, which centers on broad commodity categories, fresh produce varieties, and prepared meal services rather than single specialty citrus products.
