UNSPSC 50536904: Dried non GMO oratia red tamarillo

The variety of non GMO tamarillo known as non GMO oratia red 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 50536904 Dried non-GMO oratia red tamarillo is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code specifies a single specialized agricultural product—dried non-GMO oratia red tamarillo—but the fourteen recent opportunities posted from January through June 2026 consistently solicit broad food service categories spanning groceries, fresh produce, eggs, prepared meals, and related supplies for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations.

State and local buyers issuing food-service solicitations include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut; Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi; Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), municipalities (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases in Connecticut; City of Dallas in Texas), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission; State of Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). The geographic spread of recent activity spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. Representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB, April 27, 2026 due date), soliciting food products and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with an estimated substantial value; Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods procurement (RFP, February 25, 2026 due date, approximately $3.1 million anticipated value); Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services contract (RFP, February 18, 2026 due date, approximately $9 million estimated annual expenditure); and Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB, June 25, 2026 due date, $17.8 million estimated three-year value). None of these opportunities specifically source dried tamarillo or single-line specialty produce items; the code shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its defined commodity.
