UNSPSC 50526207: Non GMO focke grayleaf red raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberry known as non GMO focke grayleaf red 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 50526207, Non GMO Focke Grayleaf Red Raspberry, is a Commodity code, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this classification shows little alignment with the code's nominal scope—the record documents school district food service solicitations overwhelmingly focused on broad fresh produce categories and eggs rather than specialty raspberry varieties. The code does not appear in active use for itemized state and local procurement at present; instead, school districts and related public bodies are sourcing fresh produce through comprehensive fruit-and-vegetable RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs that bundle raspberries (when specified) within larger seasonal or annual produce portfolios rather than procuring this commodity as a standalone SKU.

School nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Florida account for the documented procurement activity, with repeat buyers including Madison Metropolitan School District (Milwaukee, Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Statesboro, Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Hinesville, Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Columbus, Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Savannah, Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Brunswick, Georgia), Douglas County School System (Douglasville, Georgia, via GEC Buying Cooperative), McAllen Independent School District (McAllen, Texas), Austin Independent School District (Austin, Texas), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida). These jurisdictions procure fresh produce for child nutrition programs under cooperative purchasing vehicles and standalone solicitations, typically requiring weekly or biweekly delivery, HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, and fixed or index-based pricing. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 (Petite Bananas, due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 annual value) and RFB 4163 (Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (over 200 fresh produce line items, due June 26, 2026), Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 via GEC Buying Cooperative (approximately $5.5 million combined for two geographic areas, due March 4, 2026), and Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034 (fresh produce and a la carte beverages, due March 11, 2026). No recent solicitations target this Commodity code as a distinct procurement line item.
