UNSPSC 50536227: Dried non GMO wine raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO wine 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 50536227 Dried non-GMO wine raspberry, a Commodity code, does not map to the state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The solicitations tagged with this code are for broad-spectrum school nutrition grocery supply, fresh produce distribution, senior meal preparation and delivery, and institutional food service — none of which center on dried raspberries or dried fruit specialty items. The code's nominal scope (a single dried-fruit commodity) is far narrower than the multi-category food service work actually being solicited, and the source contains no evidence of state or local procurement activity specifically targeting dried non-GMO wine raspberries.

The mismatch between code and content signals a classification error in the underlying procurement database. School districts in Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia are posting RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, and meal-service contracts; none of these opportunities identify dried raspberries as a line item or category. Until dried-fruit commodities appear in actual state and local solicitations, this code shows no actionable procurement signal for business development purposes.
