UNSPSC 50526214: Non GMO leucodermis whitebark raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberry known as non GMO leucodermis whitebark 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 50526214 Non GMO leucodermis whitebark raspberry, a Commodity code, nominally names a specific produce variety, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no solicitations actually seeking whitebark raspberries or any close variant. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad food-service procurement by school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices — soliciting fresh produce including standard fruits, vegetables, and fresh-cut snacks. Madison Metropolitan School District requested petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks; Hancock County Board of Education bid multiple apple varieties, berries including raspberry and strawberry, leafy greens, and root vegetables; Bartow County School System sought local fresh fruits and vegetables; and Collier County Parks and Recreation solicited food-service concessions across multiple venues. The code's scope, as recently deployed, encompasses fresh and processed produce broadly rather than the specific non-GMO whitebark raspberry species the code name suggests. This mismatch indicates either the code was applied incorrectly to general produce procurement or the code has drifted substantially from its nominal commodity definition.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Wisconsin school districts, with additional activity from Florida county parks, Georgia state purchasing, and healthcare coalitions. Madison Metropolitan School District posted two RFBs in July 2026 (petite bananas due July 29; fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29), while Hancock County Board of Education released an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026. Bartow County School System and Early County Board of Education similarly solicited fresh produce for the 2026-2027 school year. Collier County Procurement Services Division issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025. The code shows limited recent activity aligned to its stated commodity name and no clear pattern of whitebark raspberry procurement; business development professionals should verify the code assignment in any new opportunity before committing resources to pursuit.
