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, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local procurement activity captured in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a single specialty produce line item, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code encompass broad food service categories spanning grocery supply, fresh produce programs, meal preparation and delivery, and nutrition services across school districts, county governments, state agencies, and senior services providers. The mismatch reflects a classification disconnect: vendors pursuing state and local contracts under this code should expect to compete for positions on much larger master grocery or produce agreements, not discrete specialty items.

Recent opportunities show substantial activity in K-12 and senior nutrition procurement across Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Texas. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued IFB 2000004323 on April 6, 2026, for Master Grocery K-12 covering delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with a response deadline of April 27, 2026; Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) released RFP 02641 on March 3, 2026, for commercial groceries and USDA Foods across 13 school sites with an anticipated contract value of $3.1 million and a February 25, 2026, proposal deadline. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP 26-003 on January 21, 2026, for food supply and distribution serving 32 schools with estimated annual spend of approximately $9 million and a February 18, 2026, response date. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB 26-00289 on June 3, 2026, with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million and a June 25, 2026, deadline. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) posted IFB BNB052266 on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services with the same-day response deadline; Texas Health and Human Services Commission (Texas) posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million and a July 11, 2026, deadline. These opportunities consistently require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), HACCP food safety plans, comprehensive insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence, and firm-fixed pricing for the contract term.
