UNSPSC 50552103: Canned or jarred non GMO mountain bilberries

The variety of non GMO billberries known as non GMO mountain bilberries 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 50552103 Canned or jarred non-GMO mountain bilberries is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations matching the code's nominal scope — no state or local jurisdictions have posted bids or RFPs for canned or jarred bilberries in the recent window. The tagged opportunities instead cover broad food service categories including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, frozen entrees, and general cafeteria supplies across school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies.

State and local procurement under this code does not support a decision to pursue or watch based on current activity. The code appears to describe a specialty food item with limited commodity demand in state and local food service operations. Recent solicitations in the food and beverage space focus on high-volume staples (apples, potatoes, carrots, proteins, dairy), processed convenience items (pre-cooked entrees, frozen vegetables), and canned goods meeting broad USDA commodity specifications. Bilberries — whether canned, jarred, or fresh — do not appear in any of the representative school nutrition, corrections, or health services contracts posted since late January 2026 across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. The code may see intermittent activity at specialized facilities or through cooperative purchasing vehicles, but no current market signal supports active business development.
