UNSPSC 50536208: Dried non GMO focke strawberry raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO focke strawberry 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 50536208 Dried non-GMO flocked strawberry raspberry, a Commodity code, covers specialty dried berry products sourced by state and local procurement offices, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct demand for this specific item. The code appears in school food service and institutional nutrition procurement at the margin of broader fresh produce, grocery, and meal delivery contracts, where dried berries surface as minor line items within hundreds of food product categories rather than standalone procurement drivers. School districts and state agencies soliciting under related food commodity codes prioritize fresh produce, processed fruits and vegetables, and complete grocery assortments to meet federal nutrition compliance and Buy American requirements; dried specialty berries are not a primary focus across the recent contract activity visible in state and local markets.

Geographic procurement activity for food service products is concentrated in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, State of Georgia), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, City of Bridgeport), and Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, City of Dallas), with school districts and state agencies as the dominant issuing bodies. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport seeking grocery items for school food service (BNB052266, electronic bid due June 30, 2026, IFB structure), Fairfax County Public Schools procuring Master Grocery K-12 for 45 schools (IFB 2000004323, sealed bids due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System issuing an RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperative districts (RFP SN 26-004, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026). These solicitations enumerate dozens to hundreds of distinct food line items with firm fixed pricing, strict delivery windows, nutritional compliance documentation, and USDA Buy American verification—the scale and structure typical of school nutrition contracts where specialty dried berries occupy a negligible portion of spend and decision-making weight.
