UNSPSC 50527007: Non GMO cloudberries

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO cloudberries. 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 50527007 Non GMO cloudberries, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under this code. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for cloudberries—GMO or non-GMO—and instead shows school nutrition contracts for mainstream fresh produce (bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, potatoes, eggs) and fresh fruit and vegetable program supplies. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a data classification error or minimal market activity for non-GMO cloudberries in state and local procurement.

School districts and county school systems across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida are the primary issuing bodies posting activity indexed to this code, primarily through food service nutrition programs. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (proposals due March 4, 2026). Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County) with additional activity in Wisconsin, Florida, and Texas. The code as indexed shows no material opportunity for non-GMO cloudberries and warrants reclassification or removal from active tracking unless broader sourcing patterns change.
