UNSPSC 50535210: Dried non GMO wing-stemmed passion flower

The variety of non GMO passion fruit known as non GMO wing-stemmed 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 50535210 Dried non-GMO wing-stemmed passion flower is a Commodity code that in practice captures a narrow botanical ingredient rarely appearing in state and local procurement records; the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically requesting dried passion flower or related herbal botanical products. Instead, the code appears in the taxonomy alongside broader food and nutrition procurement activity at school districts, county health agencies, and state support facilities, but the representative opportunities posted since mid-April 2026 address fresh produce, packaged meal components, grocery staples, and prepared meal services — not specialty dried botanicals. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local buying patterns suggests the code sees minimal or no direct procurement activity in the current market.

Recent state and local food-service activity spans school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state health facilities across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with school districts and county boards of education dominating the issuing-body mix. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items) due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) sought grocery items for school nutrition due June 30, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for food and consumables for a state-supported living center due July 13, 2026 with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026. The State of Georgia and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) also posted food-supply solicitations in May and April 2026 respectively. None of these opportunities reference dried passion flower or specialty herbal ingredients as a line item; the code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.
