UNSPSC 50533805: Dried non GMO red huckleberries

The variety of non GMO huckleberries known as non GMO red 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 50533805 Dried non-GMO red huckleberries is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the taxonomy, but the recent state and local procurement record shows minimal activity directly targeting this specific product. The code name identifies a specialty dried fruit item, yet the opportunities posted under this code reflect broad grocery and food service procurement—school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts—where dried huckleberries, if purchased at all, would represent a line item within much larger multi-category solicitations rather than a standalone procurement focus. The issuing bodies span school districts (Bridgeport, Fairfax County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Meriden, Douglas County, Pascagoula-Gautier, and Hancock County), a county government (Hillsborough County, Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and the City of Dallas. School nutrition programs dominate the recent posting volume, with fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, and packaged meal contracts appearing repeatedly across June and April–May 2026 solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic—Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Bridgeport, Meriden), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Texas (Dallas, El Paso)—with isolated activity in mid-Atlantic and Pacific regions. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across fresh and shelf-stable grocery categories; Bulloch County Board of Education's School Nutrition Grocery Bid (IFB #043025, due May 4, 2026) spanning food products, equipment, and supplies across multiple categories; and the Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (due February 18, 2026) targeting $9 million in annual food delivery to 32 schools. The code shows no dedicated single-product procurement for dried huckleberries; vendors pursuing this commodity would need to bid as part of larger grocery frameworks or specialty-foods line items within school nutrition or institutional food service RFPs.
