This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions.

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50546219 Frozen non-GMO San Diego raspberry (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope — a single frozen fruit product — does not align with the actual procurement opportunities tagged under it. Recent state and local solicitations bearing this code encompass broad grocery and food-service procurement spanning frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and non-food items for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. The mismatch reflects how state and local jurisdictions often apply commodity codes at higher aggregation levels than their taxonomic specificity implies. School districts and municipal education departments dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from state procurement offices and individual school districts across multiple states.

The recent opportunities show concentration in Georgia and Connecticut school districts, with representation from Missouri and broader state-level buys. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 line-item grocery items with a June 30, 2026 response deadline, requiring Buy American compliance and National School Lunch Program standards; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ items with a June 26, 2026 deadline; the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with a March 4, 2026 deadline; and Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for over 900 grocery-item line items serving approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily, with electronic submission due April 29, 2026. All contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Common requirements across opportunities include Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, food recall procedures, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and compliance with National School Lunch Program nutrition standards.
