UNSPSC 50534429: Dried non GMO orlando tangelo oranges

The variety of early maturing tangelo noted for its juicy, mild, sweet flavor. 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 50534429 Dried non-GMO Orlando tangelo oranges is a Commodity code representing a single agricultural product line, but state and local solicitations tagged with this code show minimal alignment with the specific product—recent opportunities in the block predominantly seek comprehensive grocery bundles, fresh produce mixed lots, meal preparation services, and school nutrition program supplies rather than dried tangelos as a standalone item. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, and multiple Georgia school districts (Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County) have posted IFBs and RFPs for food service procurement, but none targets dried citrus products specifically. The few solicitations that do mention produce categories—such as Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB spanning apples, berries, citrus fruits, melons, and leafy greens, or Douglas County's RFP for fresh produce and eggs—emphasize fresh items with multiple-item line counts (72+ line items in both cases) rather than single dried-fruit specifications. Issuing bodies across the dataset span school districts (elementary through high school levels), county and city nutrition authorities, state health and human services agencies, and special-purpose school nutrition cooperatives serving multiple districts.

The geographic footprint includes Georgia (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), Connecticut (Bridgeport, Meriden), Florida (Hillsborough County), Texas (El Paso), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Recent opportunities show clustering in K–12 school nutrition procurement—the Bridgeport Board of Education IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) sought 1,100+ grocery line items for the National School Lunch Program; Hancock County Schools' IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) requested 200+ fresh produce items; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) established a Master Grocery K–12 term contract requiring minimum bid thresholds of 76 items; and Douglas County's RFP SN 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) estimated $9 million in annual food supply spending across 32 schools. The code shows no recent activity specifically requesting dried non-GMO Orlando tangelos, and the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurements suggests this Commodity code either sees no focused state and local demand at present or is being mistagged in sourcing databases for aggregated grocery and produce categories.
