UNSPSC 50526220: Non GMO snow raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberry known as non GMO snow 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 50526220 Non-GMO snow raspberry is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single relevant solicitation in the recent-opportunities block is Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas—a fresh fruit item tangentially related to produce but not snow raspberries specifically. The remaining opportunities tagged under this code span general produce procurement (fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs across multiple Georgia and Texas school districts) and do not reference snow raspberries or any non-GMO berry specialty items. State and local procurement under codes in the produce family typically targets institutional food service for schools and school nutrition programs, where vendors supply fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs under firm-fixed or cost-plus pricing structures, weekly or variable delivery schedules, HACCP compliance, and Buy American provisions. However, this code as specifically named—non-GMO snow raspberry—does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited.

School districts in Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin dominate recent activity in the broader fresh-produce space. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin has posted two solicitations (RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, with the latter requiring Wisconsin-grown or locally sourced produce within 400 miles). Georgia school districts—including Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County, and the cooperative purchasing vehicle Douglas County School System (serving 30 districts across two areas)—have posted multiple fresh-produce and food solicitations from February through June 2026, with response dates ranging from late March through late June. Texas independent school districts, including Austin ISD and McAllen ISD, have also solicited fresh produce for child nutrition programs. The code itself shows no distinct activity concentration; the tagging mismatch suggests business development focus should target general fresh-produce codes and school nutrition procurement rather than pursue opportunities under this specialty-crop classification.
