UNSPSC 50536214: Dried non GMO leucodermis whitebark raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO leucodermis whitebark 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 50536214 Dried non GMO leucodermis whitebark raspberry is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific dried berry product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reveal a significant mismatch: the solicitations actually cover broad food procurement — grocery staples, fresh produce, senior meal services, and packaged meal boxes for school nutrition programs. School districts, county nutrition departments, state health agencies, and county commissioners' offices are the primary buyers. The work includes sourcing ingredients and prepared foods for school breakfast and lunch programs (including National School Lunch Program compliance), senior meal preparation and delivery services, summer food service programs, and institutional food service operations. Contracts require adherence to Buy American provisions (typically 51 percent domestic content in processed products), compliance with USDA nutrition standards including the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, HACCP food safety certification, allergen management (nut-free products), whole grain requirements, and comprehensive vendor insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence in general liability. Pricing is submitted on firm fixed-rate or unit-cost bases with minimal or no fuel surcharges permitted, and payment terms run Net 30 to Net 45 days.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases posted an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education with Monday–Friday delivery and LINQ School Solutions ordering integration.

Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce across 200-plus line items including multiple apple and berry varieties, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty produce (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026). Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted an ITB (ITB2600289, due June 25, 2026) for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated value of $17,832,659.90 over three years, requiring bidders to be licensed Florida Department of Elderly Affairs caterers. The Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi bid packaged meal boxes for a summer food service program (Bid No. 609-26, due April 29, 2026). The code shows little focused activity on the specific dried-berry product it nominally names.
