UNSPSC 50534425: Dried non GMO murcott tangors

The variety of non GMO mandarin oranges and tangerines known as non GMO murcott tangors 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 50534425 Dried non-GMO Murcott tangors, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement; the sourced opportunities do not reflect procurement of this specific dried citrus product line. Recent solicitations under related food UNSPSC codes reveal that state and local governments—school districts, county education authorities, state agencies, and municipal governments—procure fresh produce, groceries, and meal services on a large scale, but dried specialty fruit items like Murcott tangors do not surface in current state and local RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs. The only opportunities tagged to food procurement codes show active demand for fresh produce (apples, citrus, berries, leafy greens), frozen and canned vegetables, meat and dairy products, eggs, grains, and complete meal delivery services for school nutrition programs and senior meal services. None of the recent opportunities explicitly reference dried non-GMO Murcott tangors or similar dried citrus products, indicating either very limited procurement volume under this code or a mismatch between the code assignment and actual school and public-sector purchasing patterns.

State and local buying activity in food procurement concentrates in school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Bridgeport Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county boards of education, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the State of Georgia, Hillsborough County (senior meals), and the City of Dallas (institutional meal delivery). Geographic spread covers Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with Georgia showing the heaviest concentration of school nutrition procurement activity. Recent solicitations document procurement timelines spanning early 2026 through mid-2026, with contract terms typically July 2026 through June 2027. Unless dried non-GMO Murcott tangors are specified within broader grocery master contracts or supplemental fresh-produce line items, this Commodity code does not reflect active state and local procurement demand as of mid-2026.
