UNSPSC 50521809: Non GMO aurea barberries

The variety of non GMO barberries known as non GMO aurea 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 50521809 Non GMO aurea barberries is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code include requests for petite bananas, fresh produce generally, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and cafeteria food services — none of which match the specific product scope (non-GMO aurea barberries, a specialty ornamental or culinary berry). The mismatch between code and solicitation scope suggests either miscoding at the point of posting or a taxonomy that does not accommodate specialty berry products with precision.

The issuing bodies procuring under the code designation are school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county parks departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), a healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and the State of Georgia. Recent opportunities span Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and a statewide food bid), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County). The representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison and within Wisconsin, and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery beginning July 1, 2026. None of these opportunities demonstrates active demand for non-GMO aurea barberries specifically; the code should be monitored only if an issuing body explicitly posts a solicitation naming the product.
