UNSPSC 50536223: Dried non GMO sweet cultivated raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO sweet cultivated 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 50536223 Dried non-GMO sweet cultivated raspberry, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's highly specialized focus—a single dried fruit cultivar with non-GMO designation—is too narrow to match the broad fresh and processed produce solicitations now active in the marketplace.

State and local food service procurement under related produce codes centers on fresh produce, dried fruit mixes, and comprehensive grocery supply contracts for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. Recent opportunities from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Douglas County Schools (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Hillsborough County (Florida) have solicited fresh apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, mixed produce bundles, and comprehensive grocery lines—but none have specifically named dried non-GMO raspberries as a line item. The Douglas County cooperative procurement (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) listed approximately 72 produce line items spanning apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, and other staples; dried specialty berries do not appear in the published itemization. Similarly, school nutrition RFPs from Fairfax County (April 2026), Bulloch County (April 2026), and Savannah-Chatham (April 2026) detail comprehensive fresh and frozen produce specifications with no mention of dried raspberry products. State and local school food service, senior meal, and institutional dining programs prioritize fresh and processed produce for immediate-use meals rather than specialty dried fruit inputs. If your firm supplies dried non-GMO raspberries as an ingredient to larger food manufacturers or meal-prep vendors bidding those school and institutional contracts, the relevant opportunity is upstream in the distributor or food-service RFP, not in direct procurement of the dried fruit itself under this commodity code.
