UNSPSC 50535100: Dried non GMO papayas

The type of succulent yellow fruit of a large plant (carica papaya) of the family caricaceae that is considered a tree, though its palmlike trunk, up to 8 m (26 feet) tall, is not as woody as the designation generally implies. 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 50535100 Dried non-GMO papayas, a Class code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no relevant posted solicitations in the source dataset; the opportunities tagged under this code encompass comprehensive grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, senior meal delivery, and school nutrition services across multiple product categories and jurisdictions, none of which focus on dried papayas as a discrete line item or primary scope of work.

State and local purchasing offices that solicit fresh produce—including school districts, state agencies, and county nutrition programs—source papayas when they appear among broader produce lists. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) included papayas in a fresh-produce IFB (#SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) alongside apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and citrus; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) similarly listed papayas within a 72-item fresh-produce annual contract (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026). However, these procurement opportunities bundle papayas with dozens of other items rather than targeting dried non-GMO varieties as a standalone commodity. The source reflects no IFB, RFP, RFQ, or ITB explicitly focused on dried fruit procurement or papaya supply to state or local bodies. Without discrete opportunities matching the code's nominal scope, the code signals minimal current pursuit potential for vendors specializing exclusively in dried non-GMO papayas.
