UNSPSC 50542102: Frozen non GMO dwarf bilberries

The variety of non GMO billberries known as non GMO dwarf bilberries that have been frozen 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 50542102 Frozen non-GMO dwarf bilberries (Commodity) does not appear in state and local school nutrition and food service procurement activity. The recent opportunities block shows nine active solicitations from school districts and municipalities across Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut—the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and the State of Georgia—all seeking comprehensive grocery and produce supply. These solicitations span frozen foods, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, meats, grains, snacks, condiments, and supplies supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, but none mention bilberries (frozen or fresh) in their published line items or scope statements. The code's nominal category—a single specialty item—does not align with the breadth of commodity purchases actually being made.

The mismatch suggests this code is either inactive in current state and local procurement or has been applied to sourcing that the available opportunity records do not capture. Frozen berries in general categories may appear under broader produce or frozen-foods aggregates in school nutrition budgets, but frozen non-GMO dwarf bilberries specifically are not identified as standalone procurement line items in any of the recent opportunities posted since January 2026. The opportunity block includes RFPs, IFBs, and RFQs from February through June 2026 with response dates ranging from February 18 through June 30, 2026, but frozen dwarf bilberries do not surface as a distinct bid item or specification in any of these contracts.
