UNSPSC 50522204: Non GMO patriot blueberries

The variety of non GMO blueberries known as non GMO patriot blueberries. 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 50522204 Non GMO patriot blueberries is a Commodity code that rarely matches the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities block contains no blueberry procurements; instead, the eighteen opportunities posted between February and July 2026 focus overwhelmingly on broad fresh produce supply, fresh fruit and vegetable programs, and school nutrition services covering apples, bananas, peppers, carrots, berries (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries), leafy greens, tomatoes, and dozens of other commodity fruits and vegetables for school districts and educational nutrition programs. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bartow County Schools in Georgia, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Bulloch County Schools in Georgia, and numerous other school districts issued RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs for comprehensive produce supply rather than blueberries alone. The code's nominal scope—specialty Non-GMO blueberries—diverges sharply from the actual procurement activity, which treats produce as fungible commodity bundles managed through nutrition service contracts rather than single-item specialty sourcing.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with procurement concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County cooperative) and Florida (Hillsborough County), alongside procurements in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), Texas (McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 deadline; and Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce with a bid submission deadline of April 14, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity to blueberries specifically and should not be relied upon for market intelligence in specialty berry sourcing.
