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 reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block shows no relevant solicitations for dried barley or raspberry products; instead, state and local governments are soliciting broadly for grocery items, fresh produce, food and consumable products, and meal preparation services across school nutrition programs, state health facilities, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The code's nominal scope—a single specialty dried fruit item—bears no relationship to the multifaceted food procurement activity currently flowing through state and local purchasing channels.

Recent opportunities originate from school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state purchasing (State of Georgia). The issuing bodies are pursuing fresh produce contracts with IFB notice types and response dates in June 2026, school lunch grocery items (Bridgeport IFB, June 30, 2026), senior meal preparation and delivery across Florida (ITB-26-00289, Hillsborough County, June 25, 2026, estimated $17.8 million over three years), and institutional food service for state-supported living centers. Geographic spread spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, and Mississippi. The code shows little relevant recent activity and should be treated as a poor routing for state and local food procurement opportunities; vendors pursuing institutional food supply contracts should monitor broader grocery, fresh produce, and meal service solicitations rather than this specialized commodity classification.
