UNSPSC 50536215: Dried non GMO munz cuyamaca raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO munz cuyamaca 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 50536215 Dried non-GMO Munz Cuyamaca raspberry (Commodity) sits within the broader foodservice procurement activity of school districts, county health and human services agencies, and municipal food-supply contracts, but the code shows little direct relevance to the recent opportunities posted under it. The opportunities span fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, specialty items), packaged meal boxes, senior meal preparation and delivery services, and general grocery and food consumables for institutional food service — none of which match dried non-GMO raspberry procurement specifically. The scope of work across these opportunities includes compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), National School Lunch Program requirements, Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP food safety plans, blind product testing, and delivery to central warehouses and distributed school or facility sites on firm fixed pricing with Net 45 payment terms.

The issuing bodies are school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and include Bridgeport's grocery-items RFP due June 30, 2026; Texas HHS's food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449) due July 13, 2026 with a prior-year spend of $1.5 million; Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB due June 26, 2026 with over 200 line items; Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services ITB (ITB-26-00289) due June 25, 2026 with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million; and Georgia's food, supplies, and kitchen-products solicitation due June 22, 2026. The code itself does not reflect the buying pattern in the posted opportunities.
