UNSPSC 50524700: Non GMO mulberries

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO mulberries. 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 50524700 Non GMO mulberries, a Class code, shows minimal direct procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities in the dataset do not include specific solicitations for non-GMO mulberries; instead, the tagged opportunities cover broad produce procurement (fresh fruits and vegetables, petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks) and general food service operations at schools, health care coalitions, and county parks. The code appears to capture a narrow specialty commodity—non-GMO mulberries as a distinct line item—rather than a category actively solicited across state and local jurisdictions at present.

The issuing bodies in the recent record span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education in Georgia), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), a health care coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and the State of Georgia. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and Wisconsin, with ancillary activity in Florida. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid (IFB, due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 produce line items for the 2026-27 school year), Madison Metropolitan School District's petite bananas bid (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, projecting $78,000 annual value), and Bartow County School System's local fresh fruit and vegetable RFP (due June 22, 2026, emphasizing 400-mile sourcing from local farms). No recent solicitation specifically names non-GMO mulberries as a line item or contract focus, signaling that demand under this code is either infrequent or routed through broader commodity categories.
