UNSPSC 50537035: Dried non GMO soursops

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO soursops that have 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 50537035 Dried non-GMO soursops is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with no recent activity aligned to the code's nominal scope. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code show a mismatch between the code classification and the work actually being solicited: state and local agencies are issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for comprehensive grocery supply, fresh produce procurement, meal preparation and delivery, and school nutrition programs. These solicitations span hundreds of line items covering mainstream produce (apples, berries, carrots, potatoes), proteins, dairy, grains, frozen goods, and prepared meals—none of which are dried non-GMO soursops. The issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), a state health agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), a county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), municipalities (City of Bridgeport, City of Dallas), and a state purchasing office (State of Georgia).

The geographic spread of recent activity covers Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with school district nutrition programs and institutional food service representing the primary buyer base. Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery procurement (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning 1,100 line items under Buy American requirements; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products solicitation for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026) valued at approximately $1.5 million for the prior period; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce procurement (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026) estimated at $17.8 million over three years; and Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods procurement (RFP 026-41, due February 25, 2026) with anticipated contract value of approximately $3.1 million. The code shows little to no procurement activity for dried non-GMO soursops specifically; the classification appears to be a data-entry error or categorical mislabeling in state procurement systems.
