UNSPSC 50535023: Dried non GMO limequat oranges

The variety of non GMO oranges known as non GMO limequat 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 50535023 Dried non GMO limequat oranges is a Commodity code nominally describing a single dried-citrus product line, but the recent state and local solicitation record shows little specific procurement activity aligned with the code's narrow scope. The code appears primarily in school nutrition and institutional food service contexts where it would be tagged alongside broader grocery, fresh produce, and food-supply categories rather than as a standalone line item. State and local buyers soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and county education boards supporting National School Lunch Program compliance, state health and human services agencies operating residential facilities, and county nutrition programs serving seniors—all of which source food through multi-item RFPs and IFBs that specify hundreds of products across multiple UNSPSC codes simultaneously rather than discrete specialty items.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 2026 grocery-items bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical spend of $1.5 million annually, Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) for the 2026–27 school year encompassing over 200 line items across multiple produce varieties, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB (26-00289, due June 25, 2026) for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years. The geographic spread reflects activity in Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with school districts and county nutrition programs as the predominant issuing bodies. The code shows no standout repeat buyers or concentrated procurement activity specific to dried limequat oranges; vendors pursuing this UNSPSC should expect opportunities bundled within larger food-supply solicitations and should focus on school nutrition, institutional meal service, and senior-nutrition procurement vehicles rather than on discrete specialty-fruit sourcing.
