UNSPSC 50532206: Dried non GMO hardyblue blueberries

The variety of non GMO blueberries known as non GMO hardyblue 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 50532206 Dried non-GMO hardyblue blueberries is a Commodity code that sits at the product level within the broader dried-fruit and specialty-ingredient category. State and local procurement under this code shows minimal recent activity — the record does not support representative solicitations explicitly calling for dried non-GMO hardyblue blueberries by name or specification. The available opportunities in the dataset reflect school districts, counties, and municipalities procuring food service supplies through broad grocery, fresh produce, and meal-preparation contracts where individual commodity lines may be included but are not isolated or highlighted in the solicitation notices themselves. Activity appears concentrated in school nutrition programs and senior meal services, where fresh produce, frozen goods, and standard grocery items dominate, rather than specialty dried-fruit inputs. Geographic spread across the opportunities spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, reflecting nationwide school-district and municipal food-service procurement activity, but none of the solicitations reviewed specifically target dried blueberries as a line item.

The absence of dedicated solicitations for this specific commodity suggests limited standalone demand at the state and local level. School nutrition programs and municipal food services typically source dried fruits through master grocery or produce contracts where specification remains generic or flexible. Interested vendors should monitor broader fresh-produce and grocery solicitations where dried-fruit line items may appear, particularly from large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, and Douglas County School System in Georgia show active procurement patterns) and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. The code's narrow focus on a single specialty product variant, combined with the lack of explicit recent opportunities naming this item, indicates either low volume, indirect procurement through larger food-service distributors, or classification mismatch between what jurisdictions label in notices and the UNSPSC tier assigned in data systems.
