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) covers specialty dried fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows limited direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. State and local governments soliciting under related food and nutrition codes are primarily school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners purchasing fresh produce, prepared meals, and broad grocery items to support child nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional dining. The work being solicited spans fresh produce delivery for school lunch programs, packaged meal boxes for summer food service, senior congregate and home-delivered meals, and comprehensive grocery sourcing for school nutrition departments—categories that encompass fresh items, processed foods, and prepared services rather than specialty dried fruits.

Recent opportunities show activity across multiple states and issuing bodies with no dominant geographic concentration. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (cereals, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, meat) due June 30, 2026, supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's National School Lunch Program. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty items with delivery to three school sites, due June 26, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with proposals due July 13, 2026 and historical spend of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB-26-00289) with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90, due June 25, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026. Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi sought packaged 7-day meal boxes for the summer food service program, due April 29, 2026. The code itself shows little recent activity matching dried pomelo products specifically; the opportunities listed above reflect the broader institutional food procurement ecosystem rather than specialty dried fruit sourcing.
