UNSPSC 50532008: Dried non GMO loganberries

The variety of non GMO blackberries known as non GMO loganberries 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 50532008 Dried non-GMO loganberries is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity under its narrow specification; recent state and local opportunities tag this code to broader grocery and fresh produce solicitations that do not isolate dried loganberries as a line item or focus area. The code appears in school nutrition, senior meal service, and general food supply RFPs and IFBs issued by school districts, county boards of education, state health agencies, and municipal purchasing offices, but the actual buying spans comprehensive grocery baskets, fresh produce assortments, and meal delivery services where dried non-GMO loganberries, if procured at all, occupy a single line item among hundreds. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat activity from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Douglas County School System and Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi). State health and human services agencies, county commissioners, and municipal food procurement offices also solicit under this code tier for senior meals, congregate dining, and institutional food service.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) soliciting over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education on June 30, 2026 (IFB BNB052266, response due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting fresh produce across 200-plus line items for the 2026-27 school year (IFB SN002-2027, response due June 26, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 11, 2026, with prior historical spend of $1.5 million). Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited Master Grocery K-12 services (IFB 2000004323, response due April 27, 2026) requiring minimum 76-item commitments, and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued an RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services (RFP 26-003, response due February 18, 2026) with estimated annual spend of approximately $9 million. The code shows consistent activity but limited specificity—dried non-GMO loganberries do not emerge as a standalone procurement driver; vendors pursuing this code should position commodity supply within broader grocery, produce, or meal-service contracts where institutional scale justifies entry.
