UNSPSC 50536002: Dried non GMO hirado buntan pomelo

The variety of non GMO pomelos known as non GMO hirado buntan pomelo 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 50536002 Dried non GMO hirado buntan pomelo is a Commodity code that in practice covers a narrow specialty produce item with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for dried hirado buntan pomelos or any dried citrus fruits. The code nominally describes a single dried fruit product, but state and local governments procuring under food-related codes are buying broad baskets of fresh and frozen groceries, produce, meals, and kitchen supplies—not individual dried specialty fruits. The issuing bodies soliciting food and consumables span school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners. These jurisdictions are primarily seeking comprehensive food service contracts for school nutrition programs, senior meals, state facility food service, and central warehouse grocery supply rather than niche dried fruit commodities.

Activity under this code is concentrated in states with active school nutrition procurement: Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education grocery bid, June 2026), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables, July 2026), Georgia (State of Georgia food, supplies, and kitchen products, June 2026), Florida (Hillsborough County senior meals, June 2026), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District packaged meals, April 2026), and Georgia (Hancock County Schools fresh produce, June 2026). The representative opportunities are broad-scope food service contracts—the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with firm pricing through June 2027, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumables valued at approximately $1.5 million historically, Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with June 2026 closing, and Hillsborough County's three-year senior meals contract valued at $17.8 million. No recent solicitation names dried hirado buntan pomelos or closely related dried citrus products, signaling that this code sees little relevant recent activity.
