UNSPSC 50556214: Canned or jarred non GMO leucodermis whitebark raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO leucodermis 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 50556214 Canned or jarred non-GMO leucodermis whitebark raspberry is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurements, encompasses broad institutional food purchases—canned fruits, applesauce, produce, dried fruits, and prepared food products for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and other public operations. The actual buying under this code diverges sharply from its nominal title; state and local governments are soliciting canned applesauce, fresh and frozen produce, grocery staples, dairy products, proteins, specialty entrees, and prepared foods for child nutrition programs, state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional institutions, and school food service operations. School districts—including Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Hancock County Board of Education—dominate the recent activity, alongside state corrections and health departments in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut. State agencies procure under this code as well: the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and Georgia Department of Education. The issuing bodies span state departments, county school districts, independent school districts, and city school boards; school nutrition programs drive the majority of visible recent solicitations.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, Texas, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, and other states.
