UNSPSC 50547102: Frozen non GMO brillantisima chokeberries

The variety of non GMO chokeberries known as non GMO brillantisima chokeberries 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 50547102, Frozen non-GMO brillantisima chokeberries (Commodity), does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The nine most recent opportunities posted under this code between January and June 2026 span grocery items, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service distribution for school nutrition programs, but none specifically name frozen chokeberries or comparable specialty frozen berries as line items or procurement categories. The solicitations tagged to this code—from the City of Bridgeport, Hancock County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, and the State of Georgia—focus instead on commodity-scale procurement of mainstream frozen and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees aligned with USDA nutrition standards for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program.

This code shows a material mismatch between its nominal scope and the procurement activity actually being tagged to it. The recent opportunities reflect open-market school nutrition bids that typically include dozens of vegetable and fruit varieties (apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, citrus) but do not isolate specialty frozen items like brillantisima chokeberries as distinct procurement lines. School districts award these contracts on a line-item or multi-vendor basis to the lowest responsive bidder, with responses due between February and June 2026 in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. If frozen chokeberries are purchased through state or local school nutrition channels, they are likely subsumed into broader fresh or frozen produce line items rather than solicited under a dedicated specialty-produce code. Vendors pursuing this taxonomy should verify the actual commodity classification in target RFPs before bid preparation.
