UNSPSC 50532103: Dried non GMO mountain bilberries

The variety of non GMO billberries known as non GMO mountain 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 50532103 Dried non-GMO mountain bilberries is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried mountain bilberries or specialty dried fruits matching the code's nominal scope; instead, the indexed opportunities span general grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, meal preparation services, and food distribution contracts for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual buying activity signals that dried non-GMO mountain bilberries are either not a standard line item in state and local food service procurement or are sourced through broader commodity codes capturing general dried fruits or ingredients.

State and local issuing bodies—primarily school districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi—are actively soliciting for fresh produce, packaged groceries, and prepared meals, but none of the recent RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs reference specialty dried berries or mountain bilberries specifically. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) grocery bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), the Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution (due February 18, 2026) all detail expansive line-item lists—over one thousand items in some cases—but dried specialty fruits do not appear among them. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether the UNSPSC assignment reflects actual current procurement demand or represents an outdated or incorrectly applied taxonomy category.
