UNSPSC 50532507: Dried non GMO black tartarian cherries

The variety of non GMO cherries known as non GMO black tartarian 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 50532507 Dried non-GMO black tartarian cherries is a Commodity code that does not map to meaningful state and local procurement activity based on recent solicitations. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span grocery procurement for school districts, counties, senior services, and state agencies—but they include comprehensive food supply contracts covering hundreds of line items (fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, beverages) rather than specialized dried cherry sourcing. The source shows no solicitations requesting dried cherries specifically, nor any that isolate dried or specialty fruit products as distinct line items; the code appears to have been applied to multi-category food procurements where dried cherries, if present at all, represent a minor component buried within broader fresh or processed produce catalogs.

The recent solicitations cluster in school nutrition (Bridgeport Board of Education grocery items due June 30, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools master grocery and multiple Georgia school districts with fresh produce bids), state purchasing (Texas Health and Human Services, State of Georgia food supplies), and county government (Hillsborough County senior meal delivery, Douglas County School System food distribution). Georgia appears most active, with multiple school districts and cooperatives issuing fresh produce and grocery RFPs and IFBs between January and June 2026, though none target dried specialty fruits as a distinct procurement category. Vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete in broad-based food supply channels rather than through dedicated dried fruit buys; the actual market signal here points toward inclusion in multi-category commodity agreements where pricing and volume may not justify specialized focus on dried cherries alone.
