UNSPSC 50535602: Dried non GMO golden pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO golden 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 50535602 Dried non GMO golden pineapple, a Commodity code, nominally specifies a single dried-fruit product, but state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect that narrow scope. Recent opportunities posted under the code span broad food and consumable procurement, including school-lunch grocery items, fresh produce for nutrition programs, senior meal services, and summer food-service packaged meals. The issuing bodies include city and county school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia), and special nutrition-program vendors. The code's recent activity reflects meal-service procurement rather than specialty dried-fruit sourcing, suggesting either over-broad tagging or minimal use of the code for its intended commodity.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases posted an IFB (BNB052266) for over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department with bids due June 30, 2026, subject to Buy American domestic-agricultural-content requirements, nutritional standards compliance, and delivery to a central warehouse and school sites Monday through Friday. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce under IFB SN002-2027 with bids due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty produce for delivery to three school sites under a July 2026–June 2027 contract. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449, with proposals due July 11, 2026, valued at $1.5 million for the prior period and firm fixed-price unit rates.
