UNSPSC 50526225: Non GMO west indian raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberry known as non GMO west indian 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 50526225 Non GMO west indian raspberry is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity matching this code—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas posted July 8, 2026, with bids due July 29, 2026—is unrelated to the nominal code scope. The district is procuring bananas (Musa spp.) in 150-count cases, sized 5" to 5.5" and ripeness stages 3.5 through 4.5 per the Chiquita color guide, for delivery Monday through Friday between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. to the Food Production Center at 4711 Pflaum Road, Madison, Wisconsin, with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 covering weekly usage of 70–90 cases during school sessions from September 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The procurement vehicle is a request for bid (RFB) evaluated on cost (40%), ability to meet service and support requirements (20%), organization qualifications and experience (15%), diverse-owned business firm documentation (5%), past MMSD experience (10%), and references (10%), with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; bidders must submit HACCP plans, maintain one million dollars minimum liability insurance, and comply with affirmative action requirements unless meeting specified exemptions.

The code's abstract title references a specific fruit variety (non-GMO west Indian raspberry) while the recent opportunity solicits fresh bananas for school food service. This mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied by the issuing body or represents a narrow specialty commodity that does not reflect active state and local procurement demand. No other recent opportunities in the broader fresh-produce procurement ecosystem—including solicitations from school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin for comprehensive fresh-produce contracts—tag activities to this code, indicating either limited tagging precision or minimal genuine demand for raspberries under this UNSPSC classification in state and local markets.
