UNSPSC 50537013: Dried non GMO hackberries

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO hackberries 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 50537013 Dried non-GMO hackberries, a Commodity code, has generated no traceable recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a niche agricultural commodity—does not align with the broad food-service purchasing actually reflected in recent state and local opportunities tagged under adjacent UNSPSC families. Recent school district, county, and municipal solicitations in the dataset are soliciting comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, eggs, and prepared meal services for school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, and institutional food service, but none explicitly reference dried hackberries or similar specialty dried fruit items. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity and the scope of actual food-service RFPs, IFBs, and RFPs posted between January and June 2026 indicates that dried hackberries either fall outside typical state and local procurement workflows or are procured under broader produce or commodity aggregation codes rather than as a standalone line item.

State and local buyers in this space—the City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the City of Dallas—are actively procuring fresh produce, frozen and canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared meals under consolidated grocery and fresh-produce contracts with response dates ranging from April through July 2026, but none of these opportunities explicitly include dried non-GMO hackberries as a line item or category. The absence of activity under this specific Commodity code suggests it is either dormant in state and local procurement or more commonly aggregated within broader fresh or dried produce Family-level codes that capture multiple fruit and vegetable lines.
