UNSPSC 50535610: Dried non GMO variegated pineapple

The variety of non GMO pineapples known as non GMO variegated 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 50535610 Dried non GMO variegated pineapple is a Commodity code capturing processed fruit products procured by state and local education and social-service agencies for food-service programs. The recent opportunities on file show that this code sits within a broader procurement environment for school nutrition, senior meal services, and institutional food supply — though the specific commodity (dried non-GMO variegated pineapple) appears in consolidated grocery and fresh-produce RFPs alongside dozens of other items rather than in standalone solicitations. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services departments, and county social-services agencies supporting National School Lunch Program compliance, senior nutrition programs, and institutional dining operations. Vendors must meet Buy American domestic-agricultural requirements (51 percent minimum for processed products in some jurisdictions), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP food safety certifications, and substantial insurance and compliance documentation including product labeling, formulation statements, health inspections, and nutritional analyses.

Recent opportunities show activity across multiple states and issuing bodies. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases posted an RFP for over 1,100 grocery line items (including dried and processed fruits) for the Bridgeport Board of Education with a June 30, 2026 response date; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh and specialty produce with over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 deadline; the Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi posted an IFB for packaged meal boxes for summer programming due April 29, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for food and consumable products for an El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 11, 2026 with a historical value of $1.5 million; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million due June 25, 2026.
