UNSPSC 50543804: Frozen non GMO mountain huckleberries

The variety of non GMO huckleberries known as non GMO mountain 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 50543804 Frozen non-GMO mountain huckleberries is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty frozen berries and related frozen produce items for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. The recent opportunities block does not show frozen mountain huckleberries explicitly solicited as a line item in any recent bid. The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local school districts in the source material are soliciting frozen foods and groceries broadly (including frozen produce, frozen entrees, and frozen prepared items), fresh produce, and eggs through IFBs and RFPs, but none of the opportunities name mountain huckleberries or specialty frozen berries as a distinct procurement category. The wider frozen-foods and grocery solicitations span school nutrition programs across multiple districts, with vendors required to meet HACCP plans, food recall accessibility, Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed products), nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and firm fixed pricing with transportation included.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix in the source, including Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia serving 30 districts through a cooperative). Georgia districts appear most frequently in recent activity. Representative recent solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ items due June 26, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. No solicitations identified frozen mountain huckleberries as a line item or estimated spend allocation.
