UNSPSC 50536201: Dried non GMO american red raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO american red raspberry that has been dried for preservation. 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 50536201 Dried non-GMO American red raspberry is a Commodity code covering single-item produce ingredients supplied to state and local institutional food service operations, though recent posting activity shows this specific item appears incidentally within broader grocery and food-supply solicitations rather than as a standalone line item. State and local governments procure dried red raspberries—like other dried fruits—as components of breakfasts, snacks, baked goods, and prepared meals served through school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food facilities. The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), city procurement offices (City of Bridgeport), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). Most recent opportunities are school-lunch oriented and subject to Buy American Provision requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items) and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, with delivery on weekly or standing-order cycles to central warehouses and school sites.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases posted an IFB on June 30, 2026 (due date same day) for over 1,100 grocery line items including dried fruits for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, with June 2026–June 2027 contract term and 48-hour delivery capability. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh and processed produce on June 10, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) spanning multiple item categories and delivery through June 2027. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center against a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period, with contract term September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITB on June 3, 2026 (due June 25, 2026) for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years. No recent opportunities name dried red raspberries as an isolated commodity line; the code's activity remains embedded within institution-wide food supply contracts where produce items are selected through multi-item RFQs or IFBs with firm pricing, prepaid freight, and quarterly or annual renewal options.
