UNSPSC 50542211: Frozen non GMO northcountry blueberries

The variety of non GMO blueberries known as non GMO northcountry 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 50542211 Frozen non-GMO northcountry blueberries is a Commodity code that covers frozen fruit products purchased by state and local governments primarily for school nutrition programs and county social services. The code appears in a narrow set of recent solicitations focused on aggregated grocery and fresh-produce procurement, where frozen berries represent a line item within broader food-supply contracts rather than standalone specialty items. State and local governments buy under this code mainly as component products within National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance frameworks, subject to Buy American provisions requiring domestic sourcing documentation and USDA nutrition standards including whole-grain and allergen specifications.

Recent activity shows school districts and county boards of education as the primary issuing bodies, with secondary activity from county social services departments. The Georgia school districts—Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia procurement office—account for three of five recent opportunities, while the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sourced groceries for the Bridgeport Board of Education and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners procured food items for senior services. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce solicitation (IFB #SN002-2027, bid due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items of fresh produce with delivery to three school sites July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items including meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains across three schools; and Gwinnett County's informal written quotes (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables for senior services delivery to Lawrenceville, Georgia. Georgia and Connecticut represent the primary procurement jurisdictions in the recent dataset, with activity concentrated in school-district nutrition programs and senior-services food provision.
