UNSPSC 50533205: Dried non GMO london gooseberries

The variety of non GMO gooseberries known as non GMO london gooseberries 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 50533205 Dried non-GMO London gooseberries (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's narrow product specification—a single dried fruit variety with non-GMO certification—does not match the scope of the fifteen recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026, which consistently solicit broad grocery and food supply contracts spanning hundreds of line items across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, snacks, beverages, and ancillary supplies rather than specialty dried fruit items.

The recent opportunities span school districts, county boards of education, state procurement offices, city purchasing departments, and county health and human services agencies across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking grocery items with over 1,100 line items for the Board of Education (RFP BNB052266, due June 30, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools issuing a Master Grocery K-12 contract encompassing food delivery to 45 schools plus distribution centers (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026); and the Meriden Public Schools sourcing commercial groceries, beverages, and produce for 8,200 students across 13 sites with an estimated contract value of approximately $3,100,000 (RFP 02641, due February 25, 2026). None of the solicitations identify dried London gooseberries or specialty dried fruit items as line-item requirements, and none use UNSPSC code 50533205 as a classification point.
