UNSPSC 50536602: Dried non GMO northline saskatoon berries

The variety of non GMO saskatoon berries known as non GMO northline saskatoon berries 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 50536602 Dried non-GMO Northline saskatoon berries is a Commodity code that maps nominally to a specific agricultural product but shows little recent activity directly aligned with that narrow specification in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting dried saskatoon berries; instead, the opportunities posted under this code span much broader food and consumable procurement—school nutrition meal contracts, senior meal services, fresh produce sourcing, and institutional food service supply. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the state and local posting systems or that this Commodity code is rarely used for its stated product.

The issuing bodies pulling records under this code include school districts (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and the State of Georgia. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast (Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Texas) as of mid-2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's grocery-items RFQ due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items for school food service; the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB due June 26, 2026, encompassing multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables for the 2026-27 school year; and the Hillsborough County ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services due June 25, 2026, valued at $17.8 million over three years. Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content) and National School Lunch Program compliance appear standard across school-nutrition solicitations. If pursuing this Commodity code, validate the actual product specification against each issuing body's scope before bid preparation, as the code's literal meaning diverges sharply from current posting practice.
