UNSPSC 50532203: Dried non GMO brigitta blueberries

The variety of non GMO blueberries known as non GMO brigitta 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 50532203 Dried non-GMO Brigitta blueberries is a Commodity code that rarely appears in state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations matching this specific dried-fruit product. Instead, state and local buyers across the past six months have issued RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for comprehensive grocery and food-service procurement that encompass broad produce categories—fresh apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and eggs—but do not isolate or call out dried specialty fruits by SKU. The code's narrow scope (a single variety of a preserved berry) sits at the tail end of much larger food-service supply chains serving school districts, county health agencies, senior services, and state institutions.

Geographic and issuing-body activity centers on school districts and county governments in Georgia (Douglas County Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, State of Georgia procurement), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools via the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases), and Florida (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), with additional activity in Texas (Health and Human Services Commission), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Texas cities (Dallas). Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) spanning 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, and Douglas County Schools' Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (due February 18, 2026) for an estimated $9 million annual spend across 32 schools. School nutrition programs consistently require fresh produce and commodity items in bulk, but procurement documents do not reference dried specialty blueberries as line items. Vendors targeting this code should note that state and local food-service buyers aggregate dried fruits, if purchased at all, into larger canned-goods or snack-item line sets rather than sourcing them as discrete products.
