UNSPSC 50523805: Non GMO red huckleberries

The variety of non GMO huckleberries known as non GMO red 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 50523805 Non GMO red huckleberries (Commodity) covers fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, though recent state and local opportunities show little activity directly aligned with this specific commodity. The recent solicitations in the dataset span school-district food services, county parks concessions, a health-care coalition, and regional school systems requesting produce in broad categories — fresh fruits and vegetables, petite bananas, berries of multiple varieties, apples, citrus, specialty items, and leafy greens — rather than red huckleberries specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, and Early County Board of Education all posting fresh-produce bids in the recent period. Additional buyers include Collier County Board of County Commissioners (parks concessions), Marion Health Care Coalition, and the State of Georgia (food supplies procurement).

The geographic spread spans Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and State of Georgia) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with activity concentrated in school-district nutrition programs tied to USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program funding and National School Lunch Program compliance. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (berries, apples, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, specialty items) for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026; Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles with proposals due June 22, 2026; and Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate (ITN 258360) for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a local-vendor preference (10 evaluation points) and proposals due March 6, 2025. The commodity code shows limited direct sourcing activity for non-GMO red huckleberries specifically; procurement under this code appears sporadic or relabeled under broader produce family codes.
