UNSPSC 50556220: Canned or jarred non GMO snow raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO snow 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 50556220 Canned or jarred non-GMO snow raspberry is a Commodity code that sees active state and local procurement focused on canned fruit products for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. State and local governments acquire canned and jarred fruits under this code to supply high-volume food service operations, with recent solicitations emphasizing USDA commodity compliance, firm fixed pricing on per-unit bases, and FOB destination delivery terms. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of corrections, school districts (including large independent districts and county boards of education), state health and human services commissions, and municipal boards of education. State departments of corrections and school nutrition programs appear most active, with repeat activity from Oregon Department of Corrections and multiple Georgia school districts soliciting canned fruit products alongside broader grocery and produce procurements.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with the most recent solicitations posted in June and July 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem. Similarly, ODOC posted ITB S2910000016975 in May 2026 for canned applesauce with a June 2, 2026, response date and a 10 percent cumulative state preference. In Georgia, the Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning multiple categories with bids due June 26, 2026, delivering to three school locations under Buy American requirements. Activity extends to Texas school districts and state health agencies; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 and HHS0017449 covering supplemental food and consumables statewide, with historical contract values reaching $1.5 million to $4.5 million annually. The code shows limited recent activity specific to non-GMO snow raspberry in particular; recent opportunities center on broader canned fruit categories, primarily applesauce, alongside fresh produce and mixed food-service procurement.
