UNSPSC 50536902: Dried non GMO bold gold tamarillo

The variety of non GMO tamarillo known as non GMO bold gold tamarillo 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 50536902 Dried non-GMO bold gold tamarillo, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities dataset contains fourteen solicitations tagged across school nutrition, senior meal service, and institutional food supply categories, but none of these opportunities explicitly solicit dried tamarillo—fresh or processed. The Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery RFP (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spans over 1,100 line items including breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and snacks, with no mention of dried tamarillo. The Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covers apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty items including kiwis, mangos, papayas, and starfruit—again, no dried tamarillo. The State of Georgia's fresh produce IFB #4 (PE68504NONST2026000000006, due May 27, 2026) and the Douglas County School System's produce RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) similarly list conventional produce but do not reference dried tamarillo. Larger school district grocery contracts—Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Meriden Public Schools' commercial and USDA Foods procurement (RFP02641, due February 25, 2026), and the Bulloch County Board of Education's School Nutrition Grocery Bid (IFB #043025, due May 4, 2026)—all reflect broad commodity procurement across standard food categories but make no reference to dried tamarillo or exotic dried fruit specialties.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either that dried tamarillo is not a material commodity in state and local food service contracting or that purchasing offices are not consistently tagging such items to this code tier. School districts, county nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food suppliers—the primary issuing bodies in this dataset—focus on commodity staples, fresh produce, and processed goods that support USDA compliance, nutritional labeling, and cost-predictability requirements. A vendor pursuing this code should verify whether state and local nutrition programs and institutional buyers in the jurisdiction actually specify dried tamarillo as a line item or whether the UNSPSC mapping reflects a data classification issue rather than real demand.
