UNSPSC 50605002: Frozen Non GMO garden huckleberry

The variety of Non GMO nightshades known as Non GMO garden huckleberry that has 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 50605002 Frozen Non GMO garden huckleberry is a Commodity code that in theory addresses specialty frozen produce items, but the recent state and local solicitation record shows no procurement activity directly aligned with this specific product. The code does not match the scope of work actually being solicited under related produce and food-service procurement codes in the state and local market. Recent opportunities tagged in adjacent food-supply categories focus on mainstream frozen and fresh produce staples, bulk grocery assortments, and complete food-service distribution for school nutrition programs — apples, berries, leafy greens, eggs, meats, dairy, grains, and pre-packaged items — rather than specialty frozen garden huckleberries or non-GMO niche produce lines.

State and local school districts, county systems, and state agencies across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas are actively soliciting food and produce contracts through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs in the school nutrition space, but no recent posting names frozen huckleberries or products matching this Commodity code's narrowly defined scope. The Douglas County School System issued a cooperative-purchasing RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for one geographic area, the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System solicited fresh produce staples across 72 line items, Dallas Independent School District requested various food products including spice and ice cream lots, the City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri bid over 900 grocery line items — none of these opportunities reference frozen huckleberries or specialty non-GMO single-item produce procurement. This code shows little relevant recent activity, and the sourcing pattern suggests that state and local governments procure specialty frozen produce, if at all, through broader commodity codes or direct vendor relationships rather than formal competitive solicitation.
