UNSPSC 50526219: Non GMO san diego raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberry known as non GMO san diego 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 50526219 Non GMO San Diego Raspberry is a Commodity code that covers fresh fruit procurement for school nutrition programs, park concessions, healthcare facilities, and other institutional food service operations. The code captures solicitations for fresh produce—often with specific ripeness, size, sourcing, and delivery specifications—sourced to support regulated meal programs and foodservice operations. State and local buyers under this code emphasize compliance with USDA and FDA food safety standards, traceability documentation, delivery schedules tied to operational calendars, and increasingly, local and organic sourcing preferences. School districts appear as the dominant issuing bodies, frequently soliciting produce via IFB or RFB with evaluation criteria weighted heavily toward cost, vendor qualifications, food safety certifications, and geographic or diversity-owned business preferences. County boards of education, county parks and recreation divisions, and healthcare coalitions also procure under this code.
