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 (Commodity) does not see active state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations requesting dried sweet pomelo, pomelo products, or close category matches. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code address mainstream school nutrition, senior meal services, and institutional food supply — fresh produce, groceries, meal delivery, and prepared foods spanning apples, berries, vegetables, eggs, and bulk meal preparation. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the actual procurement patterns suggests either mis-tagging in source systems or inactive demand for this specific dried fruit item at the state and local level.

State and local buyers active in food procurement — school districts in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, Virginia, and Texas; county boards of education; senior services authorities; and city purchasing departments — are issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for broad grocery categories, fresh produce contracts, and meal preparation services with response dates ranging from late February through July 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's cooperative-purchasing RFP for food supply and distribution serving 32 schools and 25,500 students with estimated annual spend near $9 million (due February 18, 2026). These solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP food safety plans, nutritional compliance, firm fixed pricing, and delivery to multiple school sites or institutional kitchens. No evidence in the source material indicates procurement demand specifically for dried sweet pomelo products.
