UNSPSC 50523204: Non GMO leveller gooseberries

The variety of non GMO gooseberries known as non GMO leveller gooseberries. 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 50523204 Non GMO leveller gooseberries, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas—involves bananas, not gooseberries, and represents a clear mismatch between the code designation and the work actually being solicited. The code does not support meaningful pursuit activity based on current state and local demand.

The broader fresh-produce and school-nutrition procurement landscape, however, remains active across the surveyed jurisdictions. School districts in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin are issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for comprehensive fresh produce, with the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 representing a cooperative-purchasing vehicle spanning 30 Georgia districts and an estimated $5.5 million annual spend across two geographic areas. Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, and multiple other districts are actively soliciting fresh fruit and vegetable contracts—many tied to USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grants—with response dates ranging from March through July 2026. These opportunities typically require domestic sourcing preferences, HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, liability insurance of $500,000 to $2 million, and weekly or twice-weekly deliveries to multiple school sites. If your firm supplies fresh produce to institutional food service, monitor school district RFPs and IFBs across your target geographies; the code 50523204 itself does not reflect current buying patterns.
