UNSPSC 50526216: Non GMO peck barton's raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberry known as non GMO peck barton's 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 50526216 Non GMO peck barton's raspberry, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The nine recent opportunities tagged with this code span school districts and one state procurement office, but they overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce across broad categories—bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, and eggs—rather than the specific product line the code name suggests. The Madison Metropolitan School District posted two separate solicitations in July 2026: an RFB for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and an RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) encompassing apples, berries including raspberry, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, and citrus; Bartow County School System in Georgia solicited local fresh fruits and vegetables (RFP 10-2026-019, proposals due June 22, 2026) with produce sourced within 400 miles; and Bulloch County School District in Georgia issued an IFP for 24 produce items including strawberries and specialty produce grown within 200 miles (IFP, due May 4, 2026). Early County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for over 300 food items supporting the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs (due June 8, 2026); Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia issued parallel IFBs for produce and comprehensive food products (both due April 29, 2026); and Muscogee County School District in Georgia solicited 60 produce line items on an indexed-pricing model (ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia school districts—Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Bartow County, and Early County boards of education—with additional solicitations from Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, McAllen and Austin independent school districts in Texas, and the State of Georgia. The State of Georgia posted a broad food-supplies RFP (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) with scope and budget details withheld pending document review. Most solicitations are school nutrition RFBs and IFBs for fresh produce delivery during the academic year, typically with annual contract periods from July through June and weekly delivery requirements to multiple school sites. Buy American provisions appear across most opportunities; HACCP plans, traceability, and 24/7 recall access are standard requirements. No procurement specific to non-GMO raspberries in pecks or packs is evident in the recent activity; the code's tagging appears to reflect a categorical misalignment rather than targeted market activity for this particular commodity.
