UNSPSC 50536007: Dried non GMO siamese sweet pomelo

The variety of non GMO pomelos known as non GMO siamese sweet 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 50536007 Dried non GMO Siamese sweet pomelo is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to its nominal scope. The six opportunities posted between April and June 2026 span broad food-service categories—school lunch groceries, institutional meals, fresh produce, senior meal services, and summer food program packages—none of which specifically reference dried pomelo or dried tropical fruits as a line item or procurement focus. The City of Bridgeport's grocery bid for the Board of Education names over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, and meats; Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB specifies over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, and specialty items such as kiwis, mangos, and papayas, but does not list dried pomelo. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable bid for the El Paso State Supported Living Center references NIGP class numbers without itemized product detail in the posted summary. School districts, county boards of education, and county health agencies appear to be the primary issuing bodies, alongside state health and human services departments.

Activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with school nutrition programs and institutional food service dominating the recent solicitation pattern. The City of Bridgeport's RFQ for grocery items closed June 30, 2026; Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB closed June 26, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for the El Paso facility closed July 13, 2026; and Hillsborough County's senior meal services ITB closed June 25, 2026. The code shows no decision-relevant recent activity targeting dried pomelo specifically, and the mismatch between the Commodity's nominal scope and actual procurement practice suggests this code may not reflect current state and local sourcing patterns for this product line.
