UNSPSC 50535206: Dried non GMO maypops passion fruit

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO maypops 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 50535206 Dried non-GMO maypops passion fruit is a Commodity code that does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no relevant opportunities in the most recent state and local contracting record; the sourced solicitations span grocery staples, fresh produce, meal preparation and delivery, and food service supply contracts, but none specifically solicit dried passion fruit or similar specialty dried fruit commodities. School districts, county education systems, and municipal food service authorities are the primary buyers in the recent activity block—Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission—but their procurement spans commodity categories such as fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, potatoes, eggs), canned and frozen goods, dairy, proteins, and packaged staples under broader family codes. The City of Dallas and City of Meriden procurement activities focus on meal delivery and catering services rather than specific ingredient commodities.

Geographic concentration appears in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia. Recent solicitations posted between January and June 2026 include fresh produce bids from Hancock County Schools (due June 26), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (due April 23), Douglas County School System RFPs for fresh produce and food supply (due March 4 and February 18), Fairfax County Public Schools grocery master contract (due April 27), and Georgia state fresh produce IFB (due May 27). No solicitations name dried passion fruit, passion fruit juice concentrate, or specialty dried fruit ingredients as line items or commodity requirements. The mismatch between code scope and actual recent activity suggests this commodity code sits outside current state and local food service procurement priorities, which emphasize fresh commodity sourcing and broad-line food distribution agreements rather than specialty ingredient procurement.
