UNSPSC 50536220: Dried non GMO snow raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO snow 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 50536220 Dried non GMO snow raspberry is a Commodity code that, in state and local procurement practice, appears rarely in solicitations explicitly tagged to this line item. Recent opportunities nominally indexed to this code do not center on dried raspberry procurement; instead, the code appears embedded within broader grocery, fresh produce, and food service contracts where individual ingredients or commodities are listed among hundreds of line items. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut), for instance, solicited over 1,100 line items of breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, beverages, and meat products in support of the Board of Education's National School Lunch Program, with compliance required under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards and Buy American Provision (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) likewise solicited fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, berries including raspberry, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, and specialty items—over 200 line items in total—for the 2026-27 school year. The issuing bodies driving procurement under this code are primarily school districts and boards of education seeking to supply child nutrition programs, along with state health and human services agencies (such as Texas Health and Human Services Commission) and county governments provisioning senior meal services and institutional food service operations. Dried non-GMO raspberry, when purchased, typically appears as one option among many produce or ingredient choices rather than as a standalone procurement focus.

Activity under this code concentrates in the South and Mid-Atlantic regions. Recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) with an IFB due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce including raspberry; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) with an IFB due June 30, 2026, for grocery items across the full food service spectrum; Texas Health and Human Services Commission with an IFB due July 13, 2026, for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center; and the State of Georgia posting an RFQ on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) also solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB due June 25, 2026) valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years. School districts dominate the active buyer base, followed by state and county health and human services agencies. The code shows modest overall activity; dried non-GMO raspberry appears as an incidental line item within large commodity food contracts rather than driving standalone procurement. Buyers are clustered in Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, and Florida, with limited visibility in other states.
