UNSPSC 50531813: Dried non GMO warty barberries

The variety of non GMO barberries known as non GMO warty barberries that have been dried for preservation. 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 50531813 Dried non-GMO warty barberries, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity tagged with this code — Bridgeport's grocery items solicitation (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) — encompasses over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat for school nutrition, with no mention of barberries or specialty dried fruits in the detailed scope. The remaining opportunities in the dataset address fresh produce, eggs, general groceries, and prepared meal services across school districts, county systems, state agencies, and municipalities, none of which reference barberries or products coded to this commodity.

State and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not reflect actual purchasing demand for dried non-GMO warty barberries. The mismatch between the code name and the actual goods solicited suggests either a data classification error or that this UNSPSC code is not in active use for state and local contracts. Organizations pursuing this commodity should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before bid preparation, as the current code does not capture real procurement opportunities in the market.
