UNSPSC 50537100: Dried non GMO chokeberries

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO chokeberry that has 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 50537100 Dried non-GMO chokeberries, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities identified under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span comprehensive school nutrition procurement (grocery staples, fresh produce, eggs, and meal delivery services), senior meal preparation and delivery, and general food service supply for state-supported facilities—none of which specifically reference dried chokeberries or specialty dried produce items. State and local governments procure food products through this taxonomy tier primarily for school nutrition programs (the dominant buyer type), senior services programs, and institutional food service operations, but the actual opportunities show demand for mainstream commodity items: fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables), proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and prepared meal services rather than niche dried-fruit ingredients.

The issuing bodies in the recent block include large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia; Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut; Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county commissioners (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission; State of Georgia), and a city government (City of Dallas). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB, due June 25, 2026, estimated value $17.8 million over three years); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport's grocery items procurement for the Board of Education (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, spanning 1,100 line items with Buy American and nutrition compliance requirements). The code shows no relevant recent activity for dried chokeberries specifically; vendors targeting this UNSPSC tier should verify category alignment with their product lines before pursuing opportunities.
