UNSPSC 50556222: Canned or jarred non GMO strawberryleaf raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO strawberryleaf 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 50556222 Canned or jarred non-GMO strawberry leaf raspberry is a Commodity code that encompasses preserved fruit products, though the recent state and local opportunities solicited under or near this code show predominantly broader food procurement for institutional food service — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and mixed grocery staples for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies. State and local issuing bodies soliciting food products include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD, Hancock County, and Douglas County), correctional and behavioral health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services facilities (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, Illinois state institutions), and municipal school nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). School districts are the dominant repeat buyers across the recent-opportunities sample. The work involves procurement of shelf-stable or fresh food products in bulk quantities for meal preparation and service, with contracts typically running one fiscal year (July to June) and including renewal options.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in the South (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), and Mid-Atlantic regions (Virginia). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases), closing July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, closing April 27, 2026, with a nine-month shelf-life requirement and firm pricing for one year; Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), closing June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school locations; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution across 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual value of approximately $9,000,000, closed February 18, 2026. All recent school district solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content in processed products and mandate firm fixed pricing for the contract term with no fuel surcharges. Institutional buyers consistently require proof of general liability insurance ($1,000,000 minimum), USDA compliance certifications, and delivery schedules with Monday-through-Friday windows.
