UNSPSC 50532212: Dried non GMO northsky blueberries

The variety of non GMO blueberries known as non GMO northsky 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 50532212 Dried non-GMO Northsky blueberries, a Commodity code, does not appear in any of the recent state and local procurement opportunities reviewed. The source materials document multiple active solicitations for comprehensive food service contracts spanning groceries, fresh produce, meal preparation and delivery, and USDA Foods across school districts, county governments, and state agencies, but none of these opportunities specifically reference dried blueberries or other dried berries as line items or discrete procurement needs. School nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts dominate the recent activity, with produce categories typically encompassing fresh apples, bananas, berries, root vegetables, citrus, and leafy greens rather than specialty dried fruit items.

The absence of recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code suggests either minimal procurement volume under this specific commodity, classification mismatches in how opportunities are tagged, or that dried blueberry purchases—if they occur—are bundled into broader grocery or produce contracts under higher-tier UNSPSC codes rather than isolated as a standalone line item. Business development activity under this code should focus on identifying whether target customers acquire dried blueberries through cooperative purchasing vehicles, state term contracts, or food service aggregators serving K-12 districts and institutional clients, rather than pursuing individual RFP/RFQ responses currently posted in public procurement channels.
