UNSPSC 50534440: Dried non GMO tangelos

The variety of fruit from a hybrid between a tangerine or mandarin orange and a grapefruit that has 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 50534440 Dried non-GMO tangelos (Commodity) does not match the state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The solicitations tagged under this code predominantly cover broad grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, meal preparation and delivery, and food service distribution for school districts, county governments, and state agencies—categories that span fresh produce, frozen and packaged goods, dairy, proteins, and prepared meals rather than a specific dried fruit commodity. The code's nominal scope (dried non-GMO tangelos) appears in none of the representative opportunities posted between January and June 2026.

The recent opportunities under this code tag include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) for weekly delivery of grocery products to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across Virginia; Bridgeport, Connecticut's Department of Public Purchases IFB for over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, and dairy for the Board of Education (due June 30, 2026); Douglas County School System's RFPs for food supply and distribution (approximately $9 million annually, due February 18, 2026) and fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative (approximately $5.5 million combined, due March 4, 2026); Bulloch County Schools' comprehensive grocery bid covering multiple food categories for 14 school sites (due May 4, 2026); Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools' annual fresh produce contract for 72 items across 60 schools (due April 23, 2026); Meriden Public Schools' RFP for commercial groceries, beverages, produce, and further processed USDA Foods with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3.1 million (due February 25, 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products procurement for El Paso State Supported Living Center (approximately $1.5 million historical value, due July 13, 2026); Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' senior meal preparation and delivery services (estimated $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026); and the City of Dallas' boxed and self-service bulk meal delivery for municipal events (due March 27, 2026, five-year term). The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education, with ancillary activity from city and state purchasing departments. Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, Mississippi, Florida, and Texas dominate the recent posting activity. The code shows considerable state and local procurement volume, but the mismatch between the dried-tangelo commodity description and the broad fresh-produce-and-grocery-distribution scope of actual solicitations suggests a classification error rather than a viable, narrowly targeted commodity code for business development purposes.
