UNSPSC 50556215: Canned or jarred non GMO munz cuyamaca raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO munz cuyamaca 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 50556215 Canned or jarred non-GMO munz cuyamaca raspberry is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, pears, and other preserved fruits—for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The recent opportunities show a mismatch between the code's narrow nominal scope (non-GMO raspberry specifically) and actual procurement activity, which spans a broad range of canned fruit, dried fruit, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive food supply contracts. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county boards of education, independent school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple school districts across states. School districts and school nutrition programs are the dominant repeat buyers, with multiple solicitations from Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, and Virginia school systems seeking grocery and produce items for child nutrition services.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, bids due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-based bidders; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, proposals due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, bids due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical annual value of $1.5 million. Additional activity appears in Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and multiple school districts across Georgia participating in the Douglas County School System's GEC Buying Cooperative RFPs. Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Florida) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in Virginia, Missouri, and Connecticut; the code shows consistent quarterly activity across multiple issuing bodies.
