UNSPSC 50532101: Dried non GMO bog bilberries

The variety of non GMO billberries known as non GMO bog bilberries 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 50532101 Dried non GMO bog bilberries is a Commodity code, but recent state and local opportunities show little procurement activity directly tied to this specific product line. The code nominally covers a niche dried fruit category — non-genetically modified bog bilberries — yet the most recent solicitations posted under or near this code span broad grocery procurement (Bridgeport Board of Education), institutional food service and consumables (Texas Health and Human Services Commission El Paso State Supported Living Center), fresh produce (Hancock County Schools), senior meal preparation and delivery (Hillsborough County, Florida), and Child Nutrition Program meal boxes (Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Mississippi). None of these opportunities explicitly name dried non-GMO bog bilberries as a line item; instead, they request fresh produce, fresh berries (strawberry, blackberry, raspberry), or generic "food and consumable products." State and local issuing bodies engaging in food procurement span school districts, county boards of education, county commissioners, state health and human services agencies, and board of education nutrition programs across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi.

The geographic spread shows recent activity in the South and mid-Atlantic regions, with notable opportunities in Texas (institutional food service), Florida (senior meals), Georgia (statewide kitchen products), and Mississippi (school nutrition). The Bridgeport Board of Education IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (due June 30, 2026) and the Hancock County Schools IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026) represent the largest recent procurement actions. The Hillsborough County three-year senior meals contract valued at $17.8 million (ITB, due June 25, 2026) and the Texas HHS institutional food procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with estimated prior-year value of $1.5 million) reflect substantial volume in institutional food service. The code shows no recent mismatch-free solicitations naming dried non-GMO bog bilberries specifically, suggesting either that this Commodity sits outside the current state and local procurement mainstream or that jurisdictions are not using this code to tag dried specialty fruit purchases.
