UNSPSC 50523205: Non GMO london gooseberries

The variety of non GMO gooseberries known as non GMO london 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 50523205 Non GMO London Gooseberries, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The sourced opportunities reflect solicitations tagged with this code but are overwhelmingly dominated by institutional school nutrition procurement for mainstream produce categories—bananas, apples, fresh vegetables, eggs, and seasonal fruits—rather than specialized gooseberry supply. The single exception, Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026), requests petite bananas at $78,000 annual value, not gooseberries. The remaining opportunities span fresh produce and eggs for K–12 school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin, representing typical school lunch supply chains but no gooseberry-specific demand signals.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing body mix, with procurement offices in Georgia (Glynn, Liberty, Bulloch, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Hancock, Bartow, Early, Douglas County school systems) conducting recurring RFBs and IFBs. Texas school districts (McAllen, Austin) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan) also appear. Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia, where regional cooperative purchasing through mechanisms like the GEC Buying Cooperative (serving 30 districts across two areas with $5.5 million estimated spend) and individual district solicitations create baseline demand for fresh produce on annual contracts, typically July-to-June fiscal years. Representative opportunities include Liberty County Board of Education IFB for produce and food products (due April 29, 2026), Glynn County IFB 27-02 for fresh produce (due April 14, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, covering $5.5 million across 30 districts). The code does not appear to reflect actual state and local procurement demand for gooseberries or other specialty produce outside the mainstream institutional food-service supply chain.
