UNSPSC 50522210: Non GMO chandler blueberries

The variety of non GMO blueberries known as non GMO northblue 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 50522210 Non GMO chandler blueberries is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little activity aligned with blueberry procurement. The code's narrow scope—specialty blueberries at a specific ripeness stage and non-GMO certification—does not match the diversity of fresh produce being solicited in the posted opportunities, which encompass broad categories of fruits, vegetables, and prepared produce items rather than single-ingredient specialty items. School districts dominate the issuing body mix across recent solicitations, with activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas, but no posted opportunity specifically names blueberries or non-GMO certification as a line item. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either tagging inconsistency or that blueberry-specific procurement occurs outside this code or at lower frequency than the broader fresh produce opportunities visible in the dataset.

The recent opportunities reflect institutional food service procurement for school districts and school nutrition programs, with representative solicitations including Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana contract (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP covering 30 districts across two Georgia regions (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spending $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB with 200+ line items spanning apples, berries, and vegetables (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Austin Independent School District's fresh produce and beverages RFP (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026). Activity is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Florida. All these solicitations emphasize volume-based institutional supply, USDA compliance including Buy American provisions and HACCP certification, multiple delivery locations, and line-item award structures, none of which target specialty single-ingredient blueberry lines. The code shows no recent procurement momentum in its specific commodity scope.
