UNSPSC 50536202: Dried non GMO bailey queensland raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO bailey queensland 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 50536202 Dried non-GMO barley Queensland raspberry, a Commodity code, does not map to the state and local procurement activity reflected in the recent opportunities block. The opportunities solicited under this code span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply—and they uniformly request fresh produce, comprehensive grocery assortments, and prepared meal delivery, not dried specialty berries. The code's nominal scope—a single dried agricultural commodity—bears no clear relationship to the broad-based food service contracting that state and local jurisdictions actually conduct under the tagged UNSPSC reference.

The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly for dried non-GMO barley or dried raspberry products. School districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce, master grocery contracts, and comprehensive food supply, while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited meal preparation, delivery, and broad institutional food service. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) both posted RFPs for fresh produce and eggs or fresh produce alone. None of the opportunities name dried specialty berries, and the narrowness of the UNSPSC code suggests a mislabeling or misclassification in the posting metadata. Practitioners should verify the intended code scope with issuing bodies before bidding, as the current tag appears misaligned with actual purchasing intent.
