UNSPSC 50533207: Dried non GMO american worcesterberry gooseberries

The variety of non GMO gooseberries known as non GMO american worcesterberry 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 50533207 Dried non-GMO American worcesterberry gooseberries is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity relevant to its stated scope; state and local procurement opportunities tagged under this code are pursuing generic grocery and food service products rather than specialty dried fruit items. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), and the City of Dallas have all posted food procurement opportunities in the past four months, but none of the identified solicitations explicitly reference dried worcesterberries, dried gooseberries, or specialty dried produce items. Opportunities instead focus on fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), prepared grocery staples (cereals, breads, condiments, frozen items), meal preparation and delivery, and bulk catering services. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, alongside county governments and municipal purchasing offices; state departments have also issued food-related RFPs. The scope of work in recent solicitations spans fresh produce supply chains, main-line food distribution for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and commercial kitchen provisioning.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County) posting multiple fresh produce and food distribution RFPs and IFBs between February and June 2026. Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, City of Bridgeport), Florida (Hillsborough County), Virginia (Fairfax County), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), and Texas (Health and Human Services Commission) round out the geographic spread. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (SN002-2027) closing June 26, 2026, seeking over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables for the 2026-27 school year; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323) closing April 27, 2026, requiring weekly grocery delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens from July 2026 through June 2027; and Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP (SN26-003) closing February 18, 2026, with an estimated annual value of $9 million to supply approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools. The code does not show active procurement demand for dried worcesterberries or specialty dried gooseberries in state and local markets during this period.
