UNSPSC 50533802: Dried non GMO cascade huckleberries

The variety of non GMO huckleberries known as non GMO cascade 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 50533802 Dried non-GMO cascade huckleberries, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no documented solicitations in the most recent opportunities block — no school districts, counties, cities, states, or other public bodies have posted RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs for dried cascade huckleberries in the period covered by the source.

Recent state and local food procurement is concentrated in broad grocery and produce supply contracts that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items across multiple product families. Solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, the City of Bridgeport, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County, and the State of Georgia are requesting comprehensive food supply agreements encompassing fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, proteins, condiments, and supplies — not specialty or single-item dried-berry procurement. The active markets are fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), bulk grocery supply for K-12 school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and USDA commodity distribution. If cascade huckleberries are procured by state or local agencies at all, they would be subsumed within a much broader grocery or fresh-produce line, not sourced as a standalone commodity, and no issuing body in the source identifies them as a line item or specification.
