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 identifies a single dried fruit product, but the recent state and local procurement record shows no solicitations for dried mamey sapote. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect procurement of the commodity itself; instead, they are broadly drawn school nutrition, senior services, and institutional food service contracts that encompass hundreds of food items across multiple categories—fresh produce, groceries, proteins, dairy, and prepared meals. The issuing bodies are school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Fairfax County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Pascagoula-Gautier, Meriden, Douglas County), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), county governments (Hillsborough County), and special districts (City of Dallas). None of the solicitations explicitly name dried mamey sapote or other single-line dried fruit products as a line item; instead, they solicit comprehensive food service portfolios where such specialty items, if present at all, would be grouped under much broader commodity families.

The geographic spread includes Georgia (four solicitations), Connecticut (Meriden, Bridgeport), Texas (El Paso, Dallas), Florida (Hillsborough), Virginia (Fairfax), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier), with the heaviest recent activity in Georgia school districts and multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative recent opportunities include the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) spanning 45 schools plus distribution kitchens with a one-year term from July 1, 2026; the Douglas County School System RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026) for approximately 32,000 daily meals across 32 schools with an estimated annual value of $9,000,000; and the Hillsborough County ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery (due June 25, 2026) valued at $17.8 million over three years. The code's tagging appears to be a taxonomy classification artifact rather than a reflection of actual commodity demand; vendors evaluating dried mamey sapote opportunities should recognize that this code produces little actionable activity specific to the product line itself.
