UNSPSC 50535607: Dried non GMO red spanish pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO red spanish 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 50535607 Dried non-GMO red Spanish pineapple is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable fruit products for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. Recent solicitations show schools and county food service authorities buying packaged and dried fruit products as components of larger grocery, produce, and meal-preparation contracts rather than as standalone line items, though the code's specificity to dried pineapple sees limited direct activity in recent state and local notices. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with county boards of education, city school systems, and state agencies secondarily active; senior meal services and state-supported facilities also appear in the dataset.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' grocery-items solicitation (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) for the Bridgeport Board of Education, which encompasses over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, fruits, and other commodities for the National School Lunch Program; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ produce line items for the 2026-27 school year; and Bulloch County Board of Education's comprehensive grocery procurement (PE55612NONST2027000000033, IFB, due May 4, 2026) including multiple food categories across 14 school delivery sites. Dried pineapple itself does not appear as a named item in posted specifications, suggesting vendors typically offer it as a specialty or seasonal component within broader fruit or snack categories rather than as a standalone procurement focus.
