UNSPSC 50535605: Dried non GMO natal queen pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO natal queen 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 50535605 Dried non GMO natal queen pineapple is a Commodity code that nominally names a narrow agricultural product line, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no solicitations for dried pineapple or pineapple products of any kind. Instead, the code appears in school nutrition, county food service, and municipal meal-delivery contracts that span broad grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, meal preparation and delivery, and food service operations — categories far broader than the code's stated scope. The mismatch between code name and actual solicitation content is substantial enough that this code does not represent a reliable signal for pineapple-focused business development.

The issuing bodies pursuing activities tagged under this code include state departments of health and human services, county school boards, city school districts, county boards of commissioners, and municipal procurement offices across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education under IFB BNB052266 (response due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 (response due July 11, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce under IFB #SN002-2027 (response due June 26, 2026), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners requesting senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB 26-00289 (response due June 25, 2026). None of these solicitations name pineapple or dried fruit as line-item categories or specification requirements. Unless the code assignment is a persistent data error in the procurement system, vendors pursuing pineapple supply should verify code alignment directly with issuing bodies before pursuing these opportunities.
