UNSPSC 50595002: Dried Non GMO garden huckleberry

The variety of Non GMO nightshades known as Non GMO garden huckleberry that has been dried 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 50595002 Dried Non GMO garden huckleberry is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single dried produce item, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it reveal a significant mismatch — the opportunities posted under this code are broadly for grocery items, fresh produce, food and consumable products, and meal services, not specifically for dried huckleberries. The City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery bid spans over 1,100 line items including cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, and dairy; Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB covers over 200 line items across apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's El Paso facility food bid encompasses general food and consumable products under multiple NIGP classes. These solicitations indicate that issuing bodies — school districts, county boards of education, city departments, and state health agencies — are using this code as a catch-all for food-service procurement rather than as a specific commodity marker. The scope in practice encompasses institutional food sourcing for school nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program and Summer Food Service Program compliance), senior meal services, and state facility foodservice operations, all subject to Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content minimums), HACCP or health inspection documentation, and nutritional standards compliance.

Activity appears across multiple states and jurisdictions. Recent bids come from Connecticut (Bridgeport), Georgia (Hancock County Schools and the State of Georgia centralized procurement), Texas (state HHS commission), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), spanning school districts, counties, city procurement offices, and state agencies. School districts dominate the visible activity, with IFBs and sealed-bid solicitations for produce and grocery items posted in June 2026 (Bridgeport, Hancock County, and Pascagoula-Gautier), alongside institutional food-service bids from Hillsborough County (senior meals, $17,832,659.90 over three years, ITB due June 25, 2026) and Texas HHS (state supported living center, historical value $1.5 million, IFB due July 11, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity focused specifically on dried huckleberries; state and local buyers are sourcing general food inventories and meal services under this classification, making category-specific positioning difficult unless your firm supplies dried specialty produce as part of a larger grocery or institutional food catalog.
