UNSPSC 50536008: Dried non GMO wainwright pomelo

The variety of non GMO pomelos known as non GMO wainwright 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 50536008 Dried non GMO wainwright pomelo (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity captured in the source data. The code nominally describes a single dried fruit commodity, yet the posted opportunities tag grocery, produce, and meal-delivery solicitations under broader family-level codes; none of the recent opportunities specifically reference dried pomelo or dried non-GMO citrus items, and the sourced bids show no line-item demand for this product category.

State and local activity in the food-service and produce space is substantial and concentrated in school districts and county governments across Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, and Mississippi, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of solicitation volume. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB, due June 30, 2026, covering 1,100+ line items across breakfast, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, and meats with Buy American requirements); Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB, due June 26, 2026, spanning 200+ line items of apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, and specialty items); and the Douglas County School System procuring fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 school districts across Georgia (RFP, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One). Other recent awards include Fairfax County Public Schools issuing a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB, due April 27, 2026) and Meriden Public Schools procuring commercial groceries, beverages, produce, and processed USDA Foods for 8,200 students across 13 sites (RFP, due February 25, 2026, with estimated contract value of $3.1 million for 2026-2027). The code sees no documented recent state or local procurement activity; vendors pursuing grocery or produce supply contracts should target the higher-level family or class codes that encompass fresh and processed foods more broadly.
