UNSPSC 50535203: Dried non GMO crackerjack passion fruit

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO crackerjack passion fruit 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 50535203 Dried non GMO crackerjack passion fruit is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific dried fruit product, but recent state and local contract opportunities show little activity directly aligned with this narrow scope. The opportunities posted under this code span broad food service procurement — school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, and institutional food supply — where dried specialty fruits, if procured at all, appear as line items within larger grocery or consumable-products contracts rather than as standalone categories. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). No vendor has been named as an incumbent or repeat buyer.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The Bridgeport Board of Education (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery items for school nutrition, subject to Buy American and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act requirements. Hancock County Board of Education (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB, due June 26, 2026) requested fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) requested food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (ITB2600289, ITB, due June 25, 2026) posted a three-year senior meal preparation and delivery contract estimated at $17,832,659.90. The code shows low specificity to dried non-GMO crackerjack passion fruit; state and local buying under this designation reflects general food-service procurement in which specialty dried fruits are minor components.
