UNSPSC 50521802: Non GMO chenault barberries

The variety of non GMO barberries known as non GMO chenault barberries. 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 50521802 Non GMO chenault barberries is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single specialty produce item, yet the recent state and local opportunities block shows no solicitations for chenault barberries—GMO or non-GMO—and instead reflects bids for broad fresh produce categories, individual commodity types (petite bananas), and food service operations. School districts, county health coalitions, county parks departments, and state procurement offices are soliciting fresh fruits and vegetables under related produce codes, but the code's specific target product does not appear in recent state and local activity. The opportunities posted since May 2026 span requests for diverse fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (Madison Metropolitan School District), petite bananas alone (Madison Metropolitan School District), general fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (Bartow County School System in Georgia and Collier County parks concessions), and broad food and kitchen supplies including produce (State of Georgia). When state and local procurement offices issue food service and nutrition RFBs and RFPs, they typically consolidate fresh produce into category-level bids rather than solicit individual specialty items by variety name.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County boards of education; State of Georgia) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with secondary activity in Florida (Collier County) and Marion County (health care coalition location unnamed). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with one county parks department (Collier County), one health care coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and one state department (Georgia). The recent opportunities impose Buy American requirements, locational sourcing preferences (Wisconsin and Georgia school districts require produce within 400 miles), organic-product price preferences, diverse-owned business set-asides, and HACCP food-safety documentation. Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park Food Services (posted October 8, 2026, ITN due March 6, 2025) and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026) are representative. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to chenault barberries or comparable single-item specialty produce solicitations.
