UNSPSC 50535601: Dried non GMO cherimoya pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO cherimoya pineapple 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 50535601 Dried non-GMO cherimoya pineapple is a Commodity code that in practice sees minimal direct state and local solicitation activity. The recent opportunities indexed under this code do not reflect procurement of the dried specialty fruit the code nominally names. Instead, state and local buying under broadly related food-service and nutrition codes spans fresh produce, meal-preparation services, grocery staples, and packaged meal boxes supporting school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, and institutional food service. When a jurisdiction does solicit dried specialty fruits or related dried produce, it appears as a line item within broader grocery, produce, or food-supply RFQs and IFBs rather than as a standalone procurement focused on a single commodity.

The issuing bodies pursuing food and nutrition contracts are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and special-purpose institutional buyers (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and spans multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program with a June 30, 2026 deadline; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning 200-plus line items with a June 26, 2026 due date; and Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years due June 25, 2026. The code shows no recent standalone solicitation for dried cherimoya pineapple or similar specialty dried fruits by state or local jurisdictions.
