UNSPSC 50522104: Non GMO oval-leaved bilberries

The variety of non GMO billberries known as non GMO oval-leaved bilberries. 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 50522104 Non GMO oval-leaved bilberries (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains 18 school district and state education solicitations, all of which cover fresh produce broadly — bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, and eggs — but none name or specifically procure bilberries, non-GMO oval-leaved or otherwise. The code's nominal scope does not align with the activity posted under it.

School districts and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Florida dominate the produce procurement space overall, with recent RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs issued by Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) — spanning summer 2026 response windows. The State of Georgia also posted a general food and kitchen products solicitation. These districts purchase commodity-level fresh produce at scale through annual or multi-year contracts, often with multiple vendor awards on a line-item basis and pricing tied to USDA market indices or terminal market reports. Geographic preference clauses favoring domestic or locally grown products, Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, and affirmative action documentation are standard. If your firm supplies specialty berries or niche produce varieties, monitor broader produce category codes rather than this specific bilberry commodity code.
