UNSPSC 50535207: Dried non GMO red granadilla passion fruit

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO red granadilla 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 50535207 Dried non-GMO red granadilla passion fruit is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity in state and local government contracting; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting this product. The code nominally describes a specialty dried fruit item, but the state and local procurement record shows no matching RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs for dried granadilla passion fruit as a standalone line item or principal deliverable. School districts, county nutrition programs, and state food service operations that post opportunities tagged to this code are predominantly soliciting comprehensive grocery bundles, fresh produce assortments, or food service contracts where dried specialty fruits—if included at all—represent a minor subset of a much larger scope spanning thousands of line items across breakfast items, vegetables, proteins, grains, and staple supplies. The issuing bodies active in the broader food-procurement space include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County), county nutrition authorities (Hillsborough County), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipal food service operations (City of Dallas). Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia.

The representative recent opportunities illustrate the actual procurement pattern: the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (bids due June 30, 2026); the Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for food supply and distribution across 32 schools with an estimated annual spend of $9 million (proposals due February 18, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K-12 requiring bidders to supply a minimum of 76 items from a much larger menu (bids due April 27, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items (sealed bids due June 26, 2026). Dried granadilla passion fruit does not appear as a called-out item in any of these solicitations. Firms pursuing state and local food-service contracts under this code should recognize that procurement is driven by large bundled grocery and produce tenders rather than specialty dried-fruit line items, and positioning a dried fruit product requires integration into a comprehensive food distributor or specialty-foods platform serving school nutrition programs or institutional food service, not standalone commodity marketing.
