UNSPSC 50536219: Dried non GMO san diego raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO san diego 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 50536219 Dried non-GMO San Diego raspberry, a Commodity code, does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single fresh or dried fruit product line, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span broad grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, meal preparation and delivery, and food service distribution—none of which center on dried raspberries or specialty produce items. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), a state health agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), a state procurement office (Georgia), and a city purchasing department (Dallas). The geographic spread spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with heaviest recent activity in Georgia school districts.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch: the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB (BNB052266) on June 30, 2026, for 1,100+ grocery line items across breakfast, frozen products, condiments, produce, and dairy for the Bridgeport Board of Education; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB on June 10, 2026, for 200+ fresh produce items spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus; and Fairfax County Public Schools issued an IFB (2000004323) on April 6, 2026, for a Master Grocery K-12 contract serving 45 schools with weekly deliveries. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued separate RFPs for food supply and distribution (estimated $9 million annually, due February 18, 2026) and for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district buying cooperative (estimated $5.5 million annually, due March 4, 2026). None of these solicitations emphasize dried raspberries, and the code appears to be a tagging artifact rather than a meaningful procurement category under active use in state and local government.
