UNSPSC 50533801: Dried non GMO black winter huckleberries

The variety of non GMO huckleberries known as non GMO black winter 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 50533801 Dried non-GMO black winter huckleberries is a Commodity code that captures a narrow, specialized produce item with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The source records no state or local government solicitations explicitly requesting dried non-GMO black winter huckleberries as a standalone line item or contract commodity. The recent opportunities block includes school nutrition bids, senior meal programs, institutional food service contracts, and fresh produce solicitations across school districts, county systems, and state agencies in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia—none of which reference this specific commodity in their disclosed scope.

School nutrition and institutional food service procurements dominate the broader grocery and fresh produce landscape that this code nominally addresses. Issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), county systems (Hancock County Board of Education, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal food service (City of Bridgeport, City of Meriden). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB, due June 26, 2026), Douglas County School System fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, covering approximately $5.5 million across 30 districts), and the City of Bridgeport's grocery items procurement for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026). These solicitations emphasize bulk fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, grains, and staple groceries meeting USDA Buy American provisions, Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and HACCP compliance—but dried specialty berries do not appear as contracted items in any disclosed scope. The code remains inactive in the recent state and local procurement record.
