UNSPSC 50536903: Dried non GMO goldmine tamarillo

The variety of non GMO tamarillo known as non GMO goldmine 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 50536903 Dried non-GMO goldmine tamarillo is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific dried fruit product, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for tamarillo or any dried tropical fruit. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code span broad food-service procurement — school nutrition programs, state-facility food supply, senior meal preparation and delivery, and institutional grocery purchasing. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated commodity; the misalignment suggests the code may be incorrectly applied to these opportunities or carries minimal procurement volume in state and local markets. The five recent opportunities span school districts, county and state agencies, and municipal education bodies across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with contract values ranging from unstated to $17.8 million over three years, indicating that food-service categories in this tier are fragmented across multiple issuing bodies and geographies.

The representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting over 1,100 line items of grocery goods for the Bridgeport Board of Education (due June 30, 2026, IFB), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026, IFB), Hancock County Board of Education seeking fresh produce across over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026, IFB), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners procuring senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years (due June 25, 2026, ITB). Common compliance threads include Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP and food-safety documentation, nutritional standards compliance, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges. Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with school nutrition and senior services as the dominant procurement drivers.
