UNSPSC 50522011: Non GMO nectarberries

The variety of non GMO blackberries known as non GMO nectarberries. 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 50522011 Non GMO nectarberries (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The single opportunity posted in the recent-opportunities block—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas—is plainly unrelated to nectarberries or specialty berries. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its nominal scope.

School nutrition procurement in the source focuses on institutional fresh produce supply across broad fruit and vegetable portfolios rather than single-item specialty berry sourcing. Recent solicitations from Georgia and Texas school districts (Hancock County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, and others) and Texas independent school districts (McAllen, Austin) procure comprehensive fresh-produce contracts spanning apples, bananas, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, stone fruits, and prepared-produce items for school nutrition programs, typically through RFB, IFB, and RFP notices with response dates between March and July 2026. A multi-district Georgia cooperative procurement (Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026) seeks fresh produce and eggs for 30 participating districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas. No solicitation in the block targets nectarberries, non-GMO berries, or specialty single-item berry contracting. If your firm pursues commodity-level berry supply to state and local institutions, monitor broader fresh-produce family codes (UNSPSC 50521000 or 50522000 level) where school nutrition procurement activity concentrates; this specific code does not currently reflect active procurement demand.
