UNSPSC 50521810: Non GMO bagatelle barberries

The variety of non GMO barberries known as non GMO bagatelle 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 50521810 Non GMO bagatelle barberries, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct purchasing activity aligned with its stated scope. State and local procurement under this code does not reflect a distinct market for the specialty item named. The recent solicitations tagged to this code instead represent broad produce procurement across multiple product lines and vendor types, spanning school nutrition programs, county parks concessions, health coalitions, and state-level food service contracts. Rather than purchasing non-GMO barberries specifically, state and local issuing bodies are soliciting fresh produce broadly—apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, and prepared fruit-and-vegetable snacks—often with local-sourcing preferences, organic options, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program participation, and Buy American compliance. The issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), a health-care coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level agencies (State of Georgia).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with recent opportunities posted in May through October 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District issued two RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit-and-vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, sourced within 400 miles and Wisconsin); Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (due June 26, 2026, covering July 2026 through June 2027); Bartow County School System solicited local fresh fruits and vegetables (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026, 400-mile sourcing requirement); Collier County sought food-services proposals for North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025); and Marion Health Care Coalition requested produce proposals (SP0040000017708, due August 21, 2026). The code does not demonstrate distinct purchasing demand for non-GMO barberries and is better understood as a data-classification artifact than an active procurement market segment.
