UNSPSC 50556212: Canned or jarred non GMO jepson whitebark raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO jepson whitebark 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 50556212 Canned or jarred non-GMO Jepson whitebark raspberry is a Commodity code that sees limited direct procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations matching this specific code; instead, state and local governments are buying canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, pears, and mixed fresh produce alongside dried fruit bars and other items—under related food service codes. The code's narrow product specification (non-GMO Jepson whitebark raspberry in canned or jarred form) does not map to the broad procurement patterns visible in the data, which emphasize commodity fruits, mixed produce, and multi-category food supply across school districts, correctional facilities, and institutional food services. State and local buyers regularly solicit canned fruit items under broader food procurement vehicles, but the specialized varietal and processing requirements of this commodity code appear to generate no recent solicitations in the dataset.

The most active state and local food procurement at present involves school districts and institutional buyers across the Southeast and Texas purchasing mixed fresh produce, applesauce, and comprehensive food supply on annual contracts. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and 5% combined Oregon preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0016792, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026. Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) solicited 72 fresh produce items under Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026. No representation in the recent data supports pursuit of this commodity code's specialized product definition; business development efforts are better directed toward broader food supply and produce family codes where institutional buyers generate consistent, high-volume opportunities.
