UNSPSC 50537011: Dried non GMO elderberries

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO elderberries 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 50537011 Dried non-GMO elderberries (Commodity) does not appear in any recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code or adjacent fresh and dried produce codes show solicitations for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply — specifically fresh produce, grocery staples, USDA Foods, and meal preparation and delivery services — but none name dried elderberries or specialty dried fruits as line items or scope components.

Recent activity in the broader produce and food supply space includes fresh produce contracts with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), and school districts across Texas and Florida. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), Hillsborough County (Florida), and the City of Dallas (Texas) have also solicited food and meal services. Opportunities reflect standard K–12 nutrition program procurement, senior congregate and home-delivered meal services, and institutional cafeteria supply — none targeting dried specialty produce. If you hold inventory or supply relationships in dried elderberries, this commodity code's current state and local pipeline shows minimal procurement signal; pursue only where you have existing relationships with institutional food service buyers or cooperative purchasing agreements that might bundle specialty or wellness-oriented produce items into broader nutrition contracts.
