UNSPSC 50596843: Dried Non GMO mamey sapote

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO mamey sapote 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 50596843 Dried Non GMO mamey sapote is a Commodity code that nominally specifies a single produce item, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show little activity aligned with the dried sapote specification itself. The code's recent solicitation record is dominated instead by broader school nutrition and institutional food service contracts spanning fresh produce, grocery staples, and prepared meals—none of which center on dried mamey sapote as a line item. When state and local procurement offices tag an opportunity with this code, they are typically casting a wide net across foodservice commodity acquisition rather than sourcing a specific dried fruit product.

The issuing bodies purchasing under this code span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county and state institutional foodservice programs (Hillsborough County in Florida, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state-level cooperative procurement (State of Georgia). Recent solicitations originated in Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Florida, with contract terms generally running July 2026 through June 2027 or multi-year periods. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items for school nutrition, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products supporting a state supported living center with historical annual value of $1.5 million, Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items with delivery to three school sites, and Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years. The code shows minimal relevance to dried mamey sapote procurement specifically and does not appear to drive targeted sourcing for that commodity within state and local government supply chains.
