UNSPSC 50532201: Dried non GMO bluecrop blueberries

The variety of non GMO blueberries known as non GMO bluecrop blueberries 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 50532201 Dried non-GMO Bluecrop blueberries is a Commodity code that covers dried specialty fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity. The code nominally addresses a narrow product line—specifically dried Bluecrop blueberries processed without genetic modification—but the recent opportunities dataset reveals that state and local procurement bodies are instead sourcing blueberries and other produce as components of broader grocery, food supply, and school nutrition contracts rather than as standalone commodity line items. The issuing bodies active in the broader fresh and processed produce space include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Meriden Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia), cities (Bridgeport, Dallas), and regional buying cooperatives such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. School nutrition programs dominate the procurement mix, with food service directors and purchasing offices issuing IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive product suites that bundle fresh produce, frozen items, proteins, grains, and related supplies rather than requesting specialty dried fruits as isolated SKUs.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with solicitations posted from Georgia (Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, State of Georgia), Florida (Hillsborough County), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, City of Bridgeport), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), and Georgia again. Recent representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), which bundled fresh and processed produce with proteins, grains, and supplies across 45 schools; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for fresh produce (due April 23, 2026) with 72 fresh and processed fruit and vegetable line items; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covering 30 districts across two Georgia areas with an estimated $5.5 million annual spend. No recent solicitations name dried non-GMO Bluecrop blueberries specifically; the code shows negligible standalone activity and does not reflect current procurement patterns in state and local food service, which prioritize volume purchasing of assembled product suites under cooperative or direct-award vehicles rather than commodity-specific bids for specialty dried fruits.
