UNSPSC 50537010: Dried non GMO durian

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO durian 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 50537010 Dried non-GMO durian, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty dried fruit products—does not align with the posted opportunities, which span broad grocery procurement (including fresh produce, packaged meals, and food service supplies) for school districts, county and state food services, and municipal meal programs. None of the recent solicitations name dried durian or comparable specialty dried fruits as line items or procurement targets.

State and local buyers posting under this code classification appear to be school nutrition programs, county food services, state purchasing offices, and municipal catering operations across Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (due April 27, 2026), and Meriden Public Schools' RFP for commercial groceries and USDA Foods, valued at approximately $3.1 million annually (due February 25, 2026). The mismatch between the code designation and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that dried non-GMO durian does not represent a material procurement need within state and local food service supply chains at present.
