UNSPSC 50537019: Dried non GMO lychee

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO lychee 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 50537019 Dried non-GMO lychee, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities dataset contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried non-GMO lychee as a line item or primary commodity. The only opportunity tagged to this code—Bridgeport, Connecticut school food procurement—is a broad grocery items bid spanning over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meat products; the summary does not identify dried lychee as a named or emphasized item. The mismatch between the narrow commodity scope and the tagged solicitation suggests either incidental coding or inclusion as a minor line item within a much larger procurement.

State and local procurement under the code, where it exists, appears only within institutional food service contexts—primarily school districts and human services agencies buying packaged food products for child nutrition programs or congregate meal service. The broader procurement activity in this dataset centers on fresh produce, canned and frozen fruits and vegetables, and other commodity staples rather than specialty dried fruit items. Without documented recent RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs specifically soliciting dried non-GMO lychee as a standalone product or line category, the code does not support an active pursuit strategy at this time.
