UNSPSC 50535508: Dried non GMO mabolo/butter fruit persimmon

The variety of non GMO persimmons known as non GMO mabolo/butter fruit persimmon 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 50535508 Dried non-GMO mabolo/butter fruit persimmon, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single specialty dried-fruit product line, but the recent opportunities posted under this code — spanning school nutrition groceries, fresh produce contracts, senior meal services, and bulk meal delivery — do not include dried mabolo or butter fruit persimmon procurement. State and local purchasing offices appear to have tagged multiple food-service solicitations with this code despite substantial mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the actual goods being bought, which consist of mainstream fresh produce, staple groceries, eggs, prepared meals, and related food-service supplies.

The opportunities reveal strong demand from school districts and county educational agencies (Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Meriden Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Hancock County Board of Education), state agencies (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county human-services bodies (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners). School nutrition programs dominate the activity. Geographic spread covers Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education's RFP for grocery items (electronic bids due June 30, 2026); Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years (bids due June 25, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for master grocery K-12 (sealed bids due April 27, 2026); and Meriden Public Schools' RFP for commercial groceries and USDA Foods, anticipated contract value $3.1 million for 2026-2027 (proposals due February 25, 2026). If your firm supplies specialty dried fruits or other narrow product lines, this code presents limited current opportunity and may reflect issuing-office classification error rather than actual buyer interest.
