UNSPSC 50527101: Non GMO autumn magic chokeberries

The variety of non GMO chokeberries known as non GMO autumn magic chokeberries. 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 50527101 Non GMO autumn magic chokeberries is a Commodity code describing specialty produce items purchased by state and local food-service operations. The recent opportunities on record show little activity directly aligned with this specific commodity; instead, state and local buyers are soliciting fresh produce broadly — petite bananas, apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, and other seasonal items — but autumn magic chokeberries do not appear in any of the recent solicitations. The opportunities span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level food procurement (State of Georgia), indicating the code sits within a food-service ecosystem. However, the mismatch between the code's stated commodity and what is actually being procured suggests this code sees little current state and local activity for this particular specialty fruit variety.

Recent opportunities posted in May through October 2026 are concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin school districts and regional park systems. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce encompassing over 200 line items with July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 term (sealed bids due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid covering 300+ items (due June 8, 2026). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, typically requiring HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, and $500,000 to $1 million liability insurance. Buy American preferences and domestic sourcing mandates appear in multiple school bids. This code shows no direct procurement activity for autumn magic chokeberries in the recent record.
