UNSPSC 50526211: Non GMO gray new mexico raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberry known as non GMO gray new mexico 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 50526211 Non GMO gray new mexico raspberry is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally covers a single specialty produce item — non-GMO gray New Mexico raspberries — but the available solicitations target broad fresh produce categories, including petite bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, multi-line-item commodity produce, and generic food service concessions. The issuing bodies are school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System) and county government entities (Collier County Board of County Commissioners through its Parks Division; Marion Health Care Coalition). None of the recent opportunities explicitly seek New Mexico raspberries or single-variety specialty produce aligned with the code's nominal scope.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. The most recent representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (bids due July 29, 2026, $78,000 annual value for weekly deliveries of 70–90 cases) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items across multiple apple, berry, vegetable, and specialty-fruit varieties (bids due June 26, 2026, for the 2026–27 school year). Bartow County School System in Georgia is seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles through an RFP with proposals due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education issued an RFB for approximately 300 food items including meats, produce, grains, and dairy (bids due June 8, 2026). Collier County's Parks Division solicited food-service concessions through an ITN for North Collier Regional Park (proposals due March 6, 2025). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity; state and local procurement officers appear to tag broad produce and food-service work under this code despite the mismatch between the code's narrow specialty-produce focus and the generalist buying activity recorded.
