UNSPSC 50523801: Non GMO black winter huckleberries

The variety of non GMO huckleberries known as non GMO black winter huckleberries. 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 50523801 Non GMO black winter huckleberries (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally addresses a specialized produce item—non-GMO black winter huckleberries—but the nine state and local opportunities posted between February and July 2026 focus on broader fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs and span staple items (apples, bananas, carrots, peppers, leafy greens, eggs) and specialty fruits (berries, melons, citrus, stone fruits) rather than black winter huckleberries specifically. The solicitations reflect generic produce sourcing across multiple categories, not the niche commodity this code describes.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with Georgia the primary geographic hub: Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all issued RFPs, RFBs, or IFBs in the window. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 (petite bananas, due July 29, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (over 200 fresh produce line items, due June 26, 2026). If pursuing this code, validate whether black winter huckleberries appear in active RFPs or cooperative purchasing catalogs, as the commodity-level specificity does not align with the generalist produce opportunities currently posting.
