UNSPSC 50535902: Dried non GMO granada pomegranates

The variety of non GMO pomegranates known as non GMO granada pomegranates that have 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 50535902 Dried non-GMO granada pomegranates (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no solicitations matching this specific commodity or its functional application. School districts, counties, municipalities, and other state and local buyers soliciting under codes spanning food service procurement—including comprehensive grocery supply (Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education), fresh produce and eggs (Douglas County School System, Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), senior meal delivery (Hillsborough County, Florida), and food distribution for supported-living facilities (Texas HHSC)—are bidding for staple produce items including apples, berries, citrus, root vegetables, leafy greens, and melons, as well as processed foods, dairy, and proteins. Dried specialty produce including granada pomegranates does not surface in any of the recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 across Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, Mississippi, and other jurisdictions.

State and local procurement under food-service-related UNSPSC codes is active and substantial—with individual school district grocery and produce contracts valued in the millions (Douglas County School System food supply estimated at $9 million annually; Meriden Public Schools at approximately $3.1 million; Hillsborough County senior meals at $17.8 million over three years)—but the commodity mix remains concentrated on fresh, frozen, canned, and shelf-stable staples meeting USDA nutrition standards, Buy American requirements, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act compliance. Specialty dried fruits like granada pomegranates, whether positioned as premium snack items, ingredients, or wellness products, do not appear in current state and local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity. Vendors in this commodity should monitor school nutrition program specifications and senior nutrition service requirements going forward, but no immediate pursuit signals are present in the source data.
