UNSPSC 50535039: Dried non GMO sanguinelli oranges

The variety of non GMO oranges known as non GMO sanguinelli 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 50535039 Dried non-GMO Sanguinelli oranges (Commodity) appears in state and local school nutrition and institutional food-service solicitations, but the recent opportunities block shows no direct procurement of this specific product. Instead, the code surfaces in broader grocery and fresh-produce RFPs and ITBs where dried citrus or specialty produce items may be line items within larger food-service contracts. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery goods for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department under IFB BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026), spanning breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, fruits, vegetables, and dairy subject to Buy American provisions and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with a historical annual spend of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026), specifying over 200 line items including apples, berries, vegetables, citrus fruits, mangos, kiwis, and papayas. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state institutional food-service agencies, each managing large annual food contracts with firm pricing, Buy American compliance, and nutritional standards compliance as baseline requirements.

Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida. Hancock County Schools in Georgia and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi posted school nutrition solicitations in April and June 2026. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted ITB ITB2600289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services (due June 25, 2026) valued at $17.8 million over three years. Georgia's state-level food procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) does not disclose line-item detail in the summary. No recent opportunity explicitly names dried sanguinelli oranges or comparable specialty dried-citrus products; the code's actual procurement activity—if any—remains embedded within larger institutional and school food-service contracts where produce and dried-goods line items are aggregated with other food categories, making vendor pursuit under this specific commodity code difficult to track without access to full line-item specifications in each district's bid documents.
