UNSPSC 50532506: Dried non GMO black schmidt cherries

The variety of non GMO cherries known as non GMO black schmidt cherries 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 50532506 Dried non-GMO black Schmidt cherries is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within a broader food-procurement ecosystem, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little activity directly aligned with the dried cherry specification. The code nominally describes a single specialty dried fruit product, yet the opportunities in the dataset span comprehensive grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, meal preparation and delivery, and school nutrition programs — none of which reference dried black Schmidt cherries specifically or dried cherries as a line item. State and local agencies procuring food under this code appear to be school districts, county boards of education, cities, and state agencies that buy groceries and fresh produce in bulk for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. Repeat buyers in the dataset include multiple Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County) and Connecticut and Florida school systems, alongside state-level procurement in Georgia and Texas.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast — Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi dominate the recent-opportunities block — with secondary activity in Virginia and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services under IFB BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission seeking food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce across 200+ line items under IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools establishing a Master Grocery K-12 contract under IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026). The code shows no recent solicitation activity specifically targeting dried non-GMO black Schmidt cherries as a standalone procurement line, suggesting that if this specialty product is procured at all under state and local contracts, it appears as a minor component within comprehensive grocery or produce buys rather than as a specified commodity requirement.
