UNSPSC 50534446: Dried non GMO willowleaf mediterranean tangerines

The variety of non GMO mandarin oranges and tangerines known as non GMO willowleaf mediterranean tangerines 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 50534446 Dried non-GMO willowleaf mediterranean tangerines is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its specific product scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect broad fresh produce and grocery procurement across school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply, but none specifically solicit dried tangerines or dried citrus products of any variety. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, 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 have all issued recent solicitations for fresh produce, fresh citrus fruits, dried goods, or comprehensive grocery supply—but the specifications consistently emphasize fresh apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, celery, leafy greens, fresh citrus (oranges, lemons, limes), and packaged grocery items rather than dried tangerines. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the City of Dallas have posted opportunities for institutional food service and meal delivery that span produce and food items broadly but do not call out dried tangerines as a line item.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's nominal scope and actual procurement demand suggests this commodity code sees minimal activity in state and local procurement at present. If your firm supplies dried citrus or specialty dried produce, monitor school nutrition RFPs and institutional food service solicitations in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and Virginia for any future line-item opportunities, but do not expect this code to surface standalone dried-tangerine demand in the near term. Broader fresh produce and grocery codes remain the active procurement channels for dried fruit and specialty produce vendors serving state and local food service operations.
