UNSPSC 50542201: Frozen non GMO bluecrop blueberries

The variety of non GMO blueberries known as non GMO bluecrop blueberries 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 50542201 Frozen non-GMO bluecrop blueberries is a Commodity code that maps nominally to frozen fruit procurement, but recent state and local solicitations show no specific demand for this item—the code appears in a school nutrition and food service context without supporting detail on frozen blueberry specifications or quantities. School districts and municipal food service departments are the primary issuing bodies across recent opportunities, with Georgia emerging as a concentration point for activity. The Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System all posted significant food procurement opportunities between January and June 2026. These solicitations uniformly target the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, requiring products to meet USDA compliance, whole-grain standards where applicable, Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content). Frozen items appear within larger multiline grocery or food-service-distribution buys rather than as standalone category awards.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with notable opportunities posted from the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia). Representative current solicitations include Bridgeport's grocery-items IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items with deliveries to central warehouse and school sites, and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs (PE64810NONST2026000000047) serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two. School districts uniformly require firm pricing for 12-month contract periods, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, prepaid freight with no fuel surcharges, and Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms. No recent solicitations explicitly name frozen blueberries as a specified line item, indicating limited current demand under this specific commodity code.
