UNSPSC 50532204: Dried non GMO chandler blueberries

The variety of non GMO blueberries known as non GMO chandler 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 50532204 Dried non-GMO Chandler blueberries is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within fresh and processed fruit procurement, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct activity specifically for dried blueberries. The opportunities captured under this code span broader food-service procurement across school nutrition programs, institutional meal services, and state agency food supply contracts where dried or processed fruit items appear as line items within comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, or food-supply specifications rather than as standalone commodities. School districts—particularly in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia—dominate the issuing-body mix, with county boards of education and school food authorities placing the heaviest volume of solicitations. State agencies, county commissioners, and municipal purchasing offices issue less frequently but manage larger contract values, as seen in Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Hillsborough County's senior meal services procurement. City purchasing departments supporting school systems (Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia) appear as repeat buyers across multiple food-service categories.

State and local activity concentrates in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, particularly Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, Florida, and Virginia, where recent solicitations include Douglas County School System RFP for Food Supply and Distribution (due February 18, 2026, approximately $9 million), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools fresh produce bid (due April 23, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), City of Bridgeport grocery items (due June 30, 2026), and Hancock County Schools fresh produce (due June 26, 2026). These are issued as RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs with typical annual contract values ranging from $1.5 million to $17.8 million. Buy American provisions (51% domestic content) appear consistently across school nutrition opportunities, and all solicitations require HACCP plans, food safety certifications, product nutritional analyses, and extensive insurance coverage. However, none of the recent opportunities specifically names dried Chandler blueberries as a line item or targets that commodity in isolation; dried fruit appears only within line-item lists of broader fresh-produce or grocery specifications. Pursue opportunities in school nutrition supply and statewide food-service distribution where commodity codes like this sit as components of larger procurement bundles, not as standalone line items.
