UNSPSC 50535609: Dried non GMO sugarloaf pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO sugarloaf 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 50535609 Dried non GMO sugarloaf pineapple is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code span broad food service procurement — school nutrition programs, institutional meal delivery, and facility food supply — rather than the specialized dried pineapple product the code nominally describes. State and local issuing bodies using this code include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county social services (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). The solicitations span grocery items, fresh produce, packaged meal boxes, institutional food supply, and senior meal preparation — none of which align specifically with dried non-GMO sugarloaf pineapple as a distinct product line.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services under IFB BNB052266 with a June 30, 2026 due date covering over 1,100 line items with Buy American provision requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients); Hancock County Board of Education soliciting fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year under IFB SN002-2027 with a June 26, 2026 due date spanning over 200 line items; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 with a July 13, 2026 due date and a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners soliciting senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB 26-00289 with a June 25, 2026 due date and an estimated three-year contract value of $17.8 million. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal commodity scope and the institutional food service procurement actually being conducted under it — business development professionals should verify directly with issuing bodies whether dried non-GMO sugarloaf pineapple is a component of specific opportunities before pursuing.
