UNSPSC 50546209: Frozen non GMO focke yellow himalayan raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO focke yellow himalayan 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 50546209 Frozen non-GMO Focke yellow Himalayan raspberry (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with this highly specific frozen-fruit commodity code. The single opportunity in the source block that touches frozen goods—City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB BNB052266 for grocery items to support the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services—spans over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meats, none of which isolates frozen raspberry products or any specific frozen berry variety. The remaining recent solicitations in the block (Hancock County Schools fresh produce; State of Georgia food and supplies; Early County, Decatur, and Rockwood school districts' broad grocery and produce categories; Savannah-Chatham and Douglas County fresh-produce and food-supply RFPs) address generalized school nutrition procurement rather than specialty frozen fruit lines. The code's narrow definition—frozen, non-GMO, a single varietal designation—does not map to the commodity-level detail in any posted opportunity.

State and local procurement under this code appears dormant or addressed through broader food-service commodity codes or cooperative purchasing frameworks that do not tag opportunities with commodity-level precision. School districts, county boards of education, and city nutrition departments drive most recent activity in the frozen and fresh-produce space, but they solicit through line-item catalogs, specification sheets, and system-based ordering platforms (LINQ, NUTRIKIDS, Bonfire) that aggregate demand across hundreds of items rather than publishing discrete RFPs for individual frozen-fruit SKUs. If frozen non-GMO Himalayan raspberries are being purchased, they are subsumed within larger frozen-product or specialty-ingredient line items. The code merits monitoring for instances where school districts or food-service authorities issue item-specific or varietal-focused solicitations, but current visibility suggests the commodity is not being actively or distinctly procured by state and local buyers through posted notices.
