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 is a Commodity code representing individual food products that state and local governments procure as line items within larger food-service contracts. The code captures dried fruit ingredients used primarily in school meal programs, institutional food service, and nutrition initiatives subject to federal compliance requirements including the National School Lunch Program, Buy American Provision standards (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), and the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act. State and local solicitations under this code embed dried raspberry among hundreds of line items spanning produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods, with vendors required to meet nutritional standards, provide laboratory-certified product analysis, and accept orders through standardized procurement platforms such as LINQ School Solutions.

Recent opportunities show school districts and county nutrition programs as the primary buyers.
