UNSPSC 50537012: Dried non GMO feijoa

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO feijoa 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 50537012 Dried non-GMO feijoa (Commodity) does not align with measurable recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a specific dried fruit product, but the recent opportunities in the dataset—spanning grocery supply for school districts, senior meal services, fresh produce contracts, and food service distribution—make no mention of dried feijoa or any feijoa-based products. The solicitations reviewed span Bridgeport Board of Education, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Schools, Hillsborough County, the State of Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Meriden Public Schools, the City of Dallas, and Douglas County Schools, covering broad food procurement ranging from fresh produce and grocery staples to prepared meals and USDA commodity distribution. None of these procurements include dried feijoa as a line item or ingredient specification.

The absence of tagged opportunities under this code in the current activity window suggests either that dried non-GMO feijoa is not a commodity state and local buyers source through formal procurement channels, or that when it is procured, it is classified under a broader grocery or dried-fruit family code rather than this specific commodity designation. Vendors targeting this code should verify whether their product is actually being solicited under a different UNSPSC classification, or whether the procurement window for this particular commodity remains narrow in the state and local sector.
