UNSPSC 50536206: Dried non GMO focke dwarf raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO focke dwarf 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 50536206 Dried non-GMO Focke dwarf raspberry, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single specialized agricultural product—dried, non-GMO dwarf raspberries—but state and local government sourcing under this identifier appears sparse or absent in current opportunities. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts that collectively procure broad grocery and fresh produce categories (fresh apples, berries, vegetables, dairy, proteins, and prepared meals) rather than specialty dried berry products. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county education systems—Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—alongside county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida) and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia). State procurement offices, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts do not appear in the recent opportunities block.

Geographic concentration in the recent opportunities is strongest in Georgia, which accounts for approximately half the identified solicitations, followed by Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. The mismatch between the code's nominal product scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either broad code tagging by jurisdictions or limited real-world purchasing of specialty dried dwarf raspberries at the state and local level. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking grocery items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (IFB, due June 30, 2026, with over 1,100 line items across breakfast, frozen, condiment, and produce categories); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requesting fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB, due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 produce line items); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida seeking senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB, due June 25, 2026, estimated at $17,832,659.90 over three years). Firms pursuing this code should verify whether opportunities are legitimately focused on dried specialty berries or whether broader grocery and produce supply agreements are being mislabeled under this narrow commodity identifier.
