UNSPSC 50556219: Canned or jarred non GMO san diego raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO 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 50556219 Canned or jarred non-GMO San Diego raspberry is a Commodity code that in practice state and local procurement systems use loosely to tag canned and jarred fruit product solicitations, though the recent opportunities block shows the code being applied to applesauce, dried fruit bars, food and consumable products, and fresh produce and egg contracts that do not strictly align with the code's nominal scope. State and local government procurement under this code—when the tagged opportunities are actually relevant to the nominal category—centers on canned and jarred fruit products for food service operations, particularly school district cafeterias, state correctional facilities, and state health and human services institutions. The mix of issuing bodies is heavily weighted toward school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System appear multiple times) and state agencies supplying institutional food service (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and others). Recent opportunities show considerable fragmentation across issuing bodies, with no single jurisdiction dominating; school nutrition programs are the largest segment.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, and Florida) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon and Washington). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. PST with delivery to Salem, Oregon, and a firm unit price of $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales in June 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (including canned fruit) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 11, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually; and the Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 including canned and jarred fruit products, with sealed bids due April 27, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. The code shows active procurement volume but the source material demonstrates substantial mismatch between the code's nominal category and the actual work being bought, which spans fresh produce, eggs, and packaged food items beyond canned or jarred fruit alone. School district food service contracts typically embed 200–400+ line items spanning multiple commodity families and employ firm fixed pricing for annual periods (July 1 through June 30) with renewal options. Buy American and domestic-content requirements appear consistently across school and state institutional procurements; Oregon and Texas apply state-level small business and resident preferences at 5–10 percent.
