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 does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts across multiple jurisdictions — all of which center on bulk grocery procurement, fresh produce delivery, and prepared meal services for K-12 districts, higher education, and human services agencies. None of the solicitations reference dried passion flower or botanical ingredients of that specificity; the code assignment appears to be a data classification mismatch rather than a reflection of genuine procurement demand for this product line.

State and local governments are not actively procuring dried non-GMO wing-stemmed passion flower under this code. The opportunities present — including Bridgeport Board of Education (grocery items, June 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center, July 2026), Hancock County Schools (fresh produce, June 2026), Hillsborough County (senior meal delivery, estimated $17.8 million over three years), Fairfax County Public Schools (Master Grocery K-12, April 2026), and multiple Georgia school districts (fresh produce and comprehensive food supply) — demonstrate robust demand for mainstream commodity foods, produce, dairy, and meal services. The geographic spread includes Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Virginia. Business development professionals should monitor this code for potential reclassification or clarification, but current activity does not support pursuit under the dried passion flower commodity designation.
