UNSPSC 50533800: Dried non GMO huckleberries

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO huckleberries 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 50533800 Dried non-GMO huckleberries, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly solicit broad-based grocery supply, fresh produce, meal preparation and delivery, and food service distribution—not dried huckleberries specifically. The City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spans over 1,100 line items including breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and snacks for school nutrition. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026, estimated at $17.8 million over three years) covers congregate and home-delivered meals with Monday-Friday service. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) requests food and consumable products under NIGP classes spanning facility food service and supply. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens.

The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county education authorities, with representation from county governments (Hillsborough County, Hancock County) and state health and human services agencies (Texas, Georgia). School nutrition procurement dominates—Bridgeport, Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Pascagoula-Gautier (Mississippi), Bulloch County (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), and Douglas County (Georgia) all appear in the recent record. The geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Connecticut) and reflects multi-state activity. However, the code's nominal scope—dried non-GMO huckleberries—does not surface in any representative recent opportunity. The mismatch suggests either a UNSPSC classification error at the source or that this code does not capture meaningful procurement volume in state and local markets. Vendors pursuing procurement under this code should verify the actual commodity scope with issuing bodies before investing in bid preparation.
