UNSPSC 50526206: Non GMO focke dwarf raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberry known as non GMO focke dwarf raspberry. 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 50526206 Non GMO focke dwarf raspberry is a Commodity code that describes a specific fresh produce item, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not target non-GMO dwarf raspberries specifically. Instead, the code appears to have been applied to broad fresh produce procurement notices covering multiple fruit and vegetable categories, general food services contracts, and school nutrition programs. The actual work being solicited under this code reflects a mismatch between the nominal commodity description and the buying activity recorded in state and local systems — the opportunities target produce vendors who can supply diverse fresh fruits, vegetables, and prepared snacks to food service operations, school districts, healthcare organizations, and regional parks, not specialized dwarf raspberry suppliers.

Recent opportunities span school districts, county parks departments, and regional healthcare organizations across Georgia and Wisconsin. Madison Metropolitan School District issued two RFBs in July 2026: one for petite bananas (estimated annual value $78,000, 70–90 cases weekly) due July 29, 2026, and another for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and within Wisconsin, due the same date. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia released an IFB for fresh produce encompassing over 200 line items of berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year, sealed bids due June 26, 2026. Bartow County School System in Georgia solicited local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles, proposals due June 22, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025, requiring food vendors to supply diverse high-quality food and beverage options across multiple venues. Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals from qualified vendors for the 2026–2027 contract period, proposals due August 21, 2026. The code shows little activity aligned with non-GMO dwarf raspberries as a standalone procurement category; vendors pursuing opportunities tagged under this code should expect to compete for general fresh produce supply contracts across multiple fruit and vegetable categories rather than specialized berry supply arrangements.
