UNSPSC 50537031: Dried non GMO rowanberries

The variety of non GMO fruit known as non GMO rowanberries 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 50537031 Dried non-GMO rowanberries is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains 16 recent solicitations spanning school districts, counties, cities, and a state agency, none of which specifically names dried rowanberries or any rowanberry products. The opportunities posted between January and June 2026 cover broad food service categories — master grocery contracts, fresh produce, school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, and commercial food supply — but rowanberries do not appear as a line item, specification, or named commodity in any of them.

The code represents a highly specialized product category that does not surface in the current state and local procurement pipeline. Activity in related categories is substantial and widespread across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia, with major repeat buyers including school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System) and state agencies (Texas HHS Commission, State of Georgia). However, the absence of dried rowanberries from even the broadest fresh produce and food supply solicitations — including a $9 million Douglas County food distribution RFP, a $4.4 million GEC buying cooperative produce contract spanning 30 Georgia districts, and numerous school nutrition grocery bids — signals that this item either does not meet common institutional food-service specifications or falls outside routine procurement cycles. Vendors in the dried-berry or specialty-produce space should treat the code as low-priority unless they identify direct end-user demand from a specific jurisdiction or institution.
