UNSPSC 50543800: Frozen non GMO huckleberries

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO huckleberries 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 50543800 Frozen non-GMO huckleberries, a Class code, shows little relevant recent activity. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not include huckleberries or specialty berries as distinct line items; instead, they reflect broad school nutrition procurement for frozen and fresh produce, grocery staples, and food-service products across multiple categories. The Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs names berries generically within a 72-line-item produce list; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB specifies blackberry, pineberry, raspberry, and strawberry among over 200 fresh-produce line items, but not huckleberries. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests this code does not capture current state and local demand for frozen non-GMO huckleberries as a standalone category.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix in the recent opportunities shown, with additional activity from the State of Georgia and the City of Bridgeport. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's BNB052266 for grocery items (due June 30, 2026, IFB scope covering 1,100+ line items including frozen products), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One). Georgia accounts for the most recent activity, followed by Connecticut and Missouri; all opportunities are driven by the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program funding. The code shows no distinguishable current demand for frozen non-GMO huckleberries as a procurement category.
