UNSPSC 50536703: Dried non GMO ever bearing strawberries

The variety of non GMO strawberries known as non GMO ever bearing strawberries 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 50536703 Dried non-GMO ever-bearing strawberries is a Commodity code that describes a narrow product category, but state and local procurement activity under this specific code is sparse and does not align with recent solicitations. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span comprehensive school nutrition grocery procurement, fresh produce supply contracts, senior meal services, and institutional food service — none of which identify dried non-GMO strawberries as a line item or primary focus. The code's narrow product definition does not match the broad food-service categories being solicited by school districts, county health agencies, and state food-service authorities across the United States.

State and local demand for food products generally flows through larger family-level or class-level codes encompassing entire produce categories, meal-supply contracts, or grocery assortments rather than individual commodity SKUs like dried strawberry variants. Recent high-volume opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools (RFP for Master Grocery K-12, April 2026), Meriden Public Schools (RFP for commercial groceries and USDA foods worth approximately $3.1 million, February 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB for fresh produce, June 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, June 2026), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery, estimated at $17.8 million over three years, June 2026). Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. The sourcing pattern across these opportunities reveals that state and local nutrition programs source commodity ingredients through consolidated vendor agreements at the produce-category or full-grocery-assortment level, not through product-specific codes, making pursuit under UNSPSC 50536703 unlikely to surface relevant opportunities in current state and local procurement channels.
