UNSPSC 50527102: Non GMO brillantisima chokeberries

The variety of non GMO chokeberries known as non GMO brillantisima 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 50527102 Non GMO brillantisima chokeberries is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to its nominal scope. The tagged opportunities span fresh produce procurement across school nutrition programs, including petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, comprehensive produce portfolios (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, melons), and eggs — none of which reference chokeberries or the specific cultivar named in the code. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for broad produce categories rather than the specialized item the code nominally describes.

School districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles dominate the issuing bodies across the recent opportunities, with activity concentrated in Georgia (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, and Douglas County School System participating in the GEC Buying Cooperative), Texas (McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual contract value of $78,000), Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce across 60 line items (due April 14, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts (estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One). All solicitations emphasize HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, domestic sourcing preferences where feasible, and delivery to school nutrition sites. Without recent opportunities clearly tied to chokeberries specifically, this code presents minimal decision-relevant activity for vendors focused on that commodity line.
