UNSPSC 50535608: Dried non GMO smooth cayenne pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO smooth cayenne 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 50535608 Dried non GMO smooth cayenne pineapple is a Commodity code that encompasses dried fruit products, though the recent state and local procurement record shows limited direct activity under this specific code. Instead, the solicitations tagged with this code reflect broader food service contracting where dried or processed fruit appears as one line item among hundreds in comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, and meal service procurements serving school districts, county governments, and state agencies. State and local buyers use this code nominally but source dried fruit primarily through master food supply and produce distribution contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with significant activity from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi). County governments and state health and human services agencies round out the buyer base, including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut). The City of Dallas also solicited meal delivery services that would encompass fruit-based menu items. Recent opportunities span the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with notable concentration in Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (April 27, 2026 response deadline) covering 1,100-plus line items including fresh and processed fruits for 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Meriden Public Schools' RFP for commercial groceries and USDA Foods (February 25, 2026 deadline, anticipated $3.1 million contract value) spanning fresh produce and processed items across 13 school sites; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products (July 13, 2026 deadline) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, suggesting substantial ongoing volumes of mixed food products.
