UNSPSC 50535209: Dried non GMO water lemon passion fruit

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO water lemon 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 50535209 Dried non GMO water lemon passion fruit is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a specific dried tropical fruit product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct relevance to the abstract specification. The records do not contain solicitations specifically seeking dried non-GMO water lemon passion fruit or comparable specialty dried fruits. Instead, state and local governments are using this code—or codes closely proximate to it—to tag broader food service procurements spanning fresh produce, grocery staples, and meal delivery services. School districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipalities are the primary issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia. The scope of actual procurement spans fresh produce (apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables), packaged grocery items (cereals, condiments, frozen products, dairy, meats), and prepared meal services, not specialty dried fruits.

Recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) soliciting fresh produce across 200+ line items under IFB with a June 26, 2026 deadline; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issuing a Master Grocery K-12 contract for food product supply and delivery to 45 schools and distribution centers under IFB 2000004323 with an April 27, 2026 deadline; the Douglas County School System (Georgia) requesting food supply and distribution services to support 32,000 daily meals via RFP SN 26-003 with an estimated annual value near $9 million and a February 18, 2026 deadline; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) procuring senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB 26-00289 with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million and a June 25, 2026 deadline. The code shows material activity in K-12 and senior nutrition but minimal recent procurement aligned to dried or specialty fruit categories; vendors targeting this code should expect to compete on mainstream fresh and processed food supply rather than niche product categories.
