UNSPSC 50536211: Dried non GMO gray new mexico raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO gray new mexico 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 50536211 Dried non-GMO gray New Mexico raspberry (Commodity) does not map to the state and local procurement activity in the source material. The recent opportunities block contains thirteen solicitations across state departments, county governments, municipalities, and school districts, but none target dried raspberry products—fresh or processed. Instead, the solicitations address comprehensive grocery supply (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Fairfax County, Virginia; Meriden, Connecticut; Bulloch County, Georgia), fresh produce for school nutrition programs (Hancock County, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham, Georgia; Douglas County, Georgia), senior meal preparation and delivery services (Hillsborough County, Florida), state food and consumable products (Texas HHSC; State of Georgia), and specialized boxed meal delivery (City of Dallas). The code's specificity to a single dried-fruit commodity contrasts sharply with the actual buying pattern, which aggregates hundreds of line items across protein, grains, dairy, vegetables, fruits, condiments, and supplies into unified grocery or food-service contracts.

The mismatch reflects a common tagging anomaly in state and local procurement databases, where broad food-service solicitations may be indexed to narrow commodity codes without correlation to actual scope. When dried berries appear in these solicitations at all—such as in Bridgeport's 1,100-line-item grocery bid or Bulloch County's multi-category school nutrition procurement—they are typically one of dozens of line items evaluated competitively as part of master grocery or fresh-produce contracts. Recent activity under this code does not support a viable business development focus on dried New Mexico raspberry as a standalone procurement category in state and local markets.
