UNSPSC 50532015: Dried non GMO youngberries

The variety of non GMO blackberries known as non GMO youngberries 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 50532015 Dried non-GMO youngberries is a Commodity code that should track demand for specialty dried fruit products in state and local food service procurement, but the recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations for dried youngberries specifically. The code's nominal scope—dried non-GMO youngberries as a discrete commodity—does not align with the actual work being solicited under related food categories in the state and local market right now. School districts, county boards of education, and state health agencies are actively procuring fresh produce, prepared meals, grocery staples, and food service consumables, but none of the recent opportunities name dried youngberries or similar specialty dried-fruit line items.

Recent state and local food service solicitations focus on broader categories: the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery goods (fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, and prepared items) due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple varieties of apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits due June 26, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services, a $17.8 million three-year contract due June 25, 2026. Georgia State Procurement and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi also posted food and nutrition solicitations in the same period. Dried non-GMO youngberries do not appear as a line item or category in any of these notices, suggesting minimal current state and local procurement activity under this specific code.
