UNSPSC 50546227: Frozen non GMO wine raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO wine 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 50546227 Frozen non-GMO wine raspberry is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialty frozen fruit products for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations under this code span school districts across multiple states sourcing frozen produce and comprehensive grocery lines that include frozen fruits, with frozen raspberries appearing as one line item within broader frozen-produce and grocery procurement. The solicitations reflect buy-through-distributor models rather than direct commodity purchasing; vendors submit pricing on hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and frozen and fresh produce as part of consolidated school nutrition contracts rather than narrow raspberry-only buys. School districts and boards of education are the primary issuing bodies, each managing annual food service contracts for their respective student populations and meal programs.
