UNSPSC 50536801: Dried non GMO kampong mauve sugar apple

The variety of non GMO sugar apples known as non GMO kampong mauve sugar apple 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 50536801 Dried non GMO kampong mauve sugar apple is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single dried fruit product, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code reveal minimal relevance to the nominal scope. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, the State of Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, the City of Meriden Purchasing Department, the City of Dallas, and Douglas County School System have all posted solicitations under or near this code in recent months—but these opportunities predominantly seek fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supplies, meal preparation and delivery services, and food service distribution, not dried sugar apples or any single-commodity dried fruit item. The mismatch reflects a broader state and local tagging practice in which procurement systems may assign commodity codes at broader family or class levels rather than true commodity specificity. The recent activity provides no signal for pursuing vendors specialized in dried kampong mauve sugar apples; the code appears to serve as a catch-all or miscoded entry point for general food procurement rather than a reliable indicator of demand for this particular product.

The geographic spread of these opportunities spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Virginia, with school districts and county education agencies representing the plurality of issuing bodies. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases RFP for grocery items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's National School Lunch Program (response due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce serving school nutrition (bids due June 26, 2026), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million (bids due June 25, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (bids due April 27, 2026). These opportunities consistently require Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, nutritional standards alignment, liability insurance, and firm fixed pricing. No evidence supports that dried kampong mauve sugar apples are being actively procured under this code at present.
