UNSPSC 50536207: Dried non GMO focke grayleaf red raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO focke grayleaf 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 50536207 Dried non-GMO Focke Grayleaf Red Raspberry is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement covers fresh and processed produce items for school nutrition, senior meal services, and institutional food programs rather than the narrow dried-raspberry specification the code name suggests. School districts, county governments, and state health agencies solicit under this code for broad grocery and produce categories spanning fresh fruits and vegetables, processed foods, and meal-ready items that meet National School Lunch Program standards, Buy American requirements, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition compliance. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), municipal departments of education (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). The code shows consistent activity among school nutrition and senior meal programs, which dominate the recent opportunity set.

Recent solicitations span the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, requesting fresh produce including over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, and citrus with bids due June 26, 2026, for delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) issued IFB BNB052266 on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 line items of grocery items including breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat products for school food service, with firm pricing through June 30, 2027. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 11, 2026, at a historical annual value of $1.5 million. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB-26-00289 on June 3, 2026, with an estimated three-year contract value of $17.8 million and bids due June 25, 2026. The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in school nutrition procurement and senior meal services across the Southeast and Texas.
