UNSPSC 50556205: Canned or jarred non GMO delicious raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO delicious raspberry that has been canned or jarred 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 50556205 Canned or jarred non-GMO delicious raspberry, a Commodity code, does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited under recent state and local opportunities. The recent opportunities block shows no procurements for canned or jarred raspberry products. Instead, state and local jurisdictions soliciting under codes near this category are purchasing broad food-service supplies, fresh produce, canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh eggs, and comprehensive grocery inventories for school districts, corrections facilities, health and human services institutions, and municipal food programs.

The mismatch between the code's specific product name and the actual procurement activity signals that this commodity code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local contracting. The opportunities posted in the sourced data span food procurements from Oregon Department of Corrections (canned applesauce, ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District (dried fruit bars and apple crisps, RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables statewide, IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), multiple Georgia school districts (fresh produce and eggs), Connecticut municipalities (broad commodity food supplies), and Missouri school districts (grocery items and produce). These solicitations cover canned fruits generally (applesauce, pears, peaches), fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods, but none specifically target canned or jarred non-GMO raspberry products. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, and Missouri school nutrition programs and state institutional food services, yet no jurisdiction in the recent block has tagged procurement activity to this specific commodity code.
