UNSPSC 50551809: Canned or jarred non GMO aurea barberries

The variety of non GMO barberries known as non GMO aurea barberries that have been canned or jarred 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 50551809 Canned or jarred non-GMO aurea barberries (Commodity) sees minimal relevant activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—specialty preserved fruit products—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under it. The source shows solicitations for mainstream canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and broad-based food and consumable products for corrections facilities, schools, and health and human services agencies, none of which match aurea barberries or specialty non-GMO preserved fruit lines. When recent opportunities are plainly unrelated to a code's stated scope, the code signals low current demand or misclassification in the tagging systems that issuing bodies use.

The activity shown under this code spans school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County, Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Dallas ISD), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia), and municipal purchasing (Bridgeport, Connecticut). Geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned applesauce ITB (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases at historical pricing of $21.84 per case; the Texas HHSC's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2) spanning 210 line items with a maximum value of $4.5 million over three years; and the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000047) serving 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. This code's recent activity reflects commodity food supply for institutional buyers, not specialty preserved fruit procurement—vendors pursuing aurea barberries or similar non-GMO specialty items should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before investing in pursuit.
