UNSPSC 50522215: Non GMO misty blueberries

The variety of non GMO blueberries known as non GMO misty 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 50522215 Non GMO misty blueberries is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh blueberries under this code to supply school nutrition programs, park concession facilities, healthcare food services, and fresh-produce distribution initiatives. The work involves sourcing and delivering fresh fruit that meets specified quality standards, ripeness grades, food-safety compliance, traceability documentation, and often local or organic sourcing preferences. Issuing bodies include school districts (the primary buyer), county park systems, county boards of education, and healthcare coalitions. School districts dominate the activity, with procurement spanning both school lunch programs (National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program) and specialized fresh-fruit initiatives such as the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) bid fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with a Wisconsin sourcing requirement in July 2026. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an invitation for bids on fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year due June 26, 2026, with over 200 line items including berries; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026 covering fruits and vegetables; and Bartow County School System (Georgia) sought local fresh fruits and vegetables due June 22, 2026 with a 400-mile sourcing radius. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce bid due August 21, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited food services via invitation to negotiate for park concessions due March 6, 2025. The code shows steady school-district-driven procurement activity with strong emphasis on local sourcing, organic certification, traceability, and compliance with USDA and food-safety standards including HACCP plans.
