UNSPSC 50532003: Dried non GMO boysenberries

The variety of large bramble fruit with a raspberry flavor; the trailing hybrid bramble yielding this fruit and developed by crossing several blackberries and raspberries 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 50532003 Dried non-GMO boysenberries, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity in the source records provided. The recent opportunities posted under or tagged with this code predominantly solicit comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, meal preparation, and food service distribution contracts rather than specialty dried fruit items. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery goods for school food service (posted June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requested fresh produce across more than 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia sought master grocery K-12 supply and delivery covering elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026); Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia issued a comprehensive food products and supplies bid for school nutrition across multiple categories from bases to frozen vegetables (due May 4, 2026); and Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut procured commercial groceries, beverages, and USDA Foods for 8,200 students across 13 sites with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3,100,000 (due February 25, 2026). None of these solicitations specifically identify dried boysenberries or specialty dried-fruit procurement as a line item or focus area.

The issuing bodies pursuing food service contracts span school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Pascagoula-Gautier, Savannah-Chatham County, Fairfax County, Meriden, and Douglas County), a state health and human services commission (Texas HHS for an El Paso facility, due July 13, 2026), a county board of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida, for senior meal services with an estimated value of $17,832,659.90 over three years, due June 25, 2026), a state procurement office (Georgia, for fresh produce and kitchen products, due June 22 and May 27, 2026), and a municipal government (City of Dallas, for boxed and bulk meal delivery, due March 27, 2026). Activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, and state-level procurements), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden), Virginia (Fairfax County), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier), and Texas (Dallas and HHS El Paso facility). The code shows little relevant recent activity for dried non-GMO boysenberries as a standalone or specialized commodity category; state and local food service procurement at this tier focuses on bulk grocery distribution, fresh produce supply, and complete meal service rather than niche dried-fruit sourcing.
