UNSPSC 50556213: Canned or jarred non GMO kellogg san diego raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO kellogg san diego 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 50556213 Canned or jarred non-GMO Kellogg San Diego raspberry (Commodity) names a narrowly specific product line, but state and local governments procure under this code primarily as part of broader food-service supply contracts for institutional feeding — school nutrition programs, county senior services, state corrections facilities, and health and human services residential centers. The concrete work being bought is shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products (applesauce, berries, and mixed fruits) alongside dozens of other commodity food items in bulk quantities, with delivery to centralized warehouses or kitchen facilities and quality standards tied to USDA commodity grades, FDA compliance, and minimum shelf-life requirements. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county senior services departments, city boards of education, and independent school districts — a mix heavily weighted toward education and corrections, with some health and social-services procurement.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut, with the Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as repeat buyers in the past five months. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned applesauce ITBs (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing near $21.84 per case); the Texas HHSC's supplemental food and consumables IFB HHS0016792V2 for state hospitals and supported living centers (due March 19, 2026, with maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026); and the Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Buy American and domestic-content preferences appear consistently — Oregon applies 5 percent state-of-origin and resident-bidder preferences, while Texas school districts and Connecticut's Bridgeport Board of Education enforce 51 percent domestic-content requirements under the Russell National School Lunch Act. Award criteria favor lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value based on price, vendor performance history, and compliance with detailed USDA grades and food-safety standards.
