UNSPSC 50535606: Dried non GMO pernambuco pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO pernambuco 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 50535606 Dried non-GMO pernambuko pineapple is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity explicitly tagged to this code—a City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education grocery bid posted June 30, 2026—encompasses over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meats, with no mention of dried pineapple or tropical fruit concentrates as a featured or standalone category. The code appears misaligned with actual purchasing patterns in recent state and local solicitations, which focus on fresh produce, general grocery supply for school nutrition programs, senior meal preparation, and bulk food distribution rather than specialty dried fruit items.

The remaining recent opportunities in the source dataset—representing school districts in Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida; county systems in Georgia and Florida; state agencies in Texas and Georgia; and the City of Dallas—consistently solicit fresh produce, prepared meals, grocery staples, and food service through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs, but none reference dried tropical fruits or pineapple products as distinct line items or procurement focuses. Issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs and state health-and-human-services agencies managing food service for students and seniors, with contracting occurring in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. The code shows no substantive recent activity in state and local procurement and should be deprioritized in favor of broader commodity codes covering fresh or frozen produce, general grocery supply, or dried goods aggregates if pursuit is contemplated.
