UNSPSC 50546206: Frozen non GMO focke dwarf raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO focke dwarf raspberry that has been frozen 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 50546206 Frozen non-GMO Focke dwarf raspberry is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty frozen berry products, but recent state and local opportunities show the code tagged to broad school nutrition procurement spanning frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, and packaged grocery items supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with representative recent solicitations from the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (grocery items, IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (fresh produce, IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education (food and non-food products, due June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (frozen foods and grocery, IFB, due May 15, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (grocery items, 900+ line items, due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (fresh produce, 72 items, due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System (fresh produce and eggs through GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts, RFP due March 4, 2026; food supply and distribution services, RFP due February 18, 2026).

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri, with solicitations posted between January and July 2026. Scope spans hundreds of line items per procurement—groceries, frozen products, fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy, meats, breads, condiments, and non-food supplies—all subject to Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, food recall procedures, Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, whole-grain and low-sodium requirements, firm fixed pricing inclusive of packing and transportation with no separate fuel surcharges, and delivery Monday through Friday to school sites and central warehouses. Insurance requirements typically range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability. Contract periods run July 1 to June 30 with renewal options of one to four additional years. The code's tagging appears to reflect the inclusion of frozen specialty produce within broader school food service categories rather than focused procurement of the specific frozen raspberry product the code nominally describes.
