UNSPSC 50536003: Dried non GMO liang ping yau pomelo

The variety of non GMO pomelos known as non GMO liang ping yau 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 50536003 Dried non-GMO liang ping yau pomelo is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show no actual procurement of the specified dried pomelo product; instead, state and local buyers are posting broad grocery, food service, and produce solicitations that encompass hundreds of line items across multiple food categories. The code itself appears to be a narrow specialty commodity — a specific variety of dried citrus — but the sourcing activity indexed to it reflects generic food supply, school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional meal delivery across multiple issuing jurisdictions.

State and local food procurement activity in the source is concentrated among school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipal governments across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with 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) all posting IFBs or RFPs for comprehensive grocery supply, fresh produce, or packaged meal services. Non-school entities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (senior meal preparation and delivery, with an estimated contract value of $17.8 million over three years), the City of Meriden (commercial groceries and USDA Foods for schools, approximately $3.1 million annually), the City of Dallas (boxed and bulk meal delivery for city events), and the State of Georgia (generic food and kitchen products). Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) seeking supply to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens with weekly delivery; the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution to serve approximately 25,500 students across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million; Meriden Public Schools' RFP 026-41 (due February 25, 2026) for commercial groceries and USDA Foods serving 8,200 students across 13 sites with anticipated contract value of approximately $3.1 million; and Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00289 (due June 25, 2026) for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years. The code shows no evidence of direct procurement for the narrowly defined dried pomelo commodity, making it an inactive category for business development purposes under current state and local solicitation patterns.
