UNSPSC 50535202: Dried non GMO blue passion flower

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO blue passion flower 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 50535202 Dried non-GMO blue passion flower (Commodity) does not appear in the state and local procurement landscape. The recent opportunities tagged under this code describe institutional food procurement—school district nutrition programs, senior meal services, and state health facility food supply—but none of the solicitations reference dried passion flower or any herbal ingredient matching the code's scope. The Bridgeport Board of Education grocery bid (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spans over 1,100 line items including breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat products, none identifying specialty botanical or herbal goods. The Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumable products solicitation (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) and the Hancock County Schools fresh produce bid (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) similarly focus on conventional food service ingredients and fresh produce. The Hillsborough County senior meal preparation and delivery services contract (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026, estimated $17.8 million over three years) and the Georgia state food and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026) reinforce the pattern: state and local procurement under this code is directed at volume food service operations, not botanical ingredients.

The geographic spread includes Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with activity concentrated among school districts, county health and human services agencies, and state departments. The sourcing pattern reflects the National School Lunch Program's Buy American requirements, nutritional standards compliance, and delivery logistics tied to centralized food service operations. No recent opportunity reflects demand for dried herbal botanicals or specialty ingredients. Firms pursuing this code should recognize that the UNSPSC classification does not align with actual purchasing activity, and the true market appears dormant or uncaptured within state and local procurement channels.
