UNSPSC 50553805: Canned or jarred non GMO red huckleberries

The variety of non GMO huckleberries known as non GMO red huckleberries 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 50553805 Canned or jarred non-GMO red huckleberries is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable fruit products procured by state and local food-service operations, though recent state and local opportunities show the code seeing minimal direct solicitation for the specific product. The recent opportunities block includes no bids for canned or jarred red huckleberries; instead, issuing bodies are procuring related canned fruit items—applesauce, mixed canned vegetables, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce—under broader food-service commodity solicitations. County boards of education, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, city school districts, and state veterans' homes are the primary buyers across the opportunities, each consolidating multiple food lines in single RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs rather than issuing category-specific calls. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted multiple food-procurement solicitations over the past six months, indicating repeat buying cycles tied to facility operations. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has issued several quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants posted in June and August 2026.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut, Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Midwest (Illinois), with school districts and state agencies concentrated in those regions. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with response due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products with a historical annual spend of $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026. The code itself shows little direct recent activity for non-GMO red huckleberries specifically, suggesting either low procurement volume, classification under alternate codes, or limited supplier availability within state and local contracting channels.
