UNSPSC 50532519: Dried non GMO santina cherries

The variety of non GMO cherries known as non GMO santina 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 50532519 Dried non-GMO santina cherries (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this Commodity code solicit broad food and consumable products for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and state-supported facilities—spanning fresh produce, packaged meal boxes, and complete grocery item assortments—rather than the specific dried cherry product the code nominally describes. The Commodity code itself names a narrow specialty produce item, but the jurisdictions posting opportunities under it are purchasing across dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, beverages, and prepared foods that bear no necessary relationship to dried cherries.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), a state health and human services agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and a state procurement office (State of Georgia). Recent activity posted in June 2026 includes Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 line-item grocery items due June 30, 2026, with Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural content) and National School Lunch Program standards; Hancock County's IFB for fresh produce across 200-plus line items due June 26, 2026; Texas HHSC's IFB for food and consumable products for a state-supported living center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million due July 13, 2026; and Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years due June 25, 2026. The code shows no concentrated activity under the specific commodity it names and does not represent a meaningful procurement vehicle for dried santina cherries or any narrowly defined single-item grocery supplier.
