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 is a Commodity code that nominally names a single produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reveal little direct demand for this specific product. Instead, the code appears in the context of broader food service and nutrition procurement where dried tamarillo may be one line item among hundreds in larger grocery, produce, or meal-service contracts. The recent solicitations show state and local governments buying comprehensive food and consumable products for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service operations — spanning fresh produce, packaged goods, breakfast items, condiments, frozen products, and specialty dietary items. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). Repeat buyers in the recent activity are school nutrition programs executing annual contracts for summer and regular school-year meal service.

Geographic spread of recent activity spans the Southeast (Georgia, Mississippi, Florida), Southwest (Texas), Northeast (Connecticut), and includes a statewide Georgia procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line-item grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program with a firm contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce across 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026; the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content are standard across school nutrition procurements. The code shows modest recent activity, with dried tamarillo appearing incidentally rather than as a primary procurement driver.
