UNSPSC 50536209: Dried non GMO focke yellow himalayan raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO focke yellow himalayan 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 50536209 Dried non-GMO Focke yellow Himalayan raspberry is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to the recent state and local solicitation activity indexed under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of dried specialty raspberries or similar botanical products; instead, they span broad grocery supply, school nutrition programs, fresh produce delivery, senior meal services, and boxed meal catering—none of which center on dried fruit specialty items. The code appears to have been applied to a diverse set of food-service solicitations that fall outside its nominal scope, suggesting either tagging misalignment in the source database or that the code sits within a broader grocery family that state and local agencies use to capture general food commodity procurement.

State and local food-service buyers posting under this code include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut; Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia; Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Bulloch County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Meriden Public Schools, Connecticut; Douglas County School System, Georgia), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipal departments (City of Dallas). Recent solicitations have been posted from Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Virginia, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia and the broader Southeast. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 11, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 requiring minimum bidder experience of three years and pricing calculated by total annual cost (due April 27, 2026). The code shows no recent activity specifically targeting dried specialty fruit procurement; business development focus should align with the actual scope of posted opportunities—broad school nutrition and institutional food supply—rather than the code's nominal taxonomy label.
