UNSPSC 50595003: Dried Non GMO naranjilla

The variety of Non GMO nightshades known as Non GMO naranjilla 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 50595003 Dried Non GMO naranjilla is a Commodity code that describes a single specialty produce item—dehydrated naranjilla fruit—yet state and local procurement activity under this code reflects a much broader pattern of fresh and processed produce procurement for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show school districts, county boards of education, state health agencies, and municipalities sourcing comprehensive fresh produce, grocery staples, and prepared meal services rather than dried specialty items specifically. The issuing bodies span large public school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Meriden Public Schools), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), city purchasing departments (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Dallas, Texas; Meriden, Connecticut), and county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida). School districts dominate the activity, reflecting the volume and frequency of National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program procurement under Buy American domestic-ingredient requirements.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Florida, Texas, Connecticut, Virginia, and Mississippi, with Georgia showing the heaviest concentration of activity. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery items IFB for the Board of Education (1,100+ line items, breakfast through meat products, National School Lunch Program compliance, due June 30, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (prior-period value $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce serving three school locations (200+ line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, specialty fruits, due June 26, 2026); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery throughout the county ($17.8 million estimated three-year value, congregate and home-delivered meals, due June 25, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens, minimum 76-item responsiveness threshold, due April 27, 2026). The code shows no activity aligned specifically to dried naranjilla but reflects high current demand for produce and prepared-food service contracts in K-12 and senior nutrition programs across multiple states.
