UNSPSC 50556226: Canned or jarred non GMO whitebark raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO 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 50556226 Canned or jarred non GMO whitebark raspberry (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The opportunities posted show school districts, state corrections departments, and health and human services agencies soliciting canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and mixed food and consumable products for child nutrition and institutional food service, but none specifically target canned or jarred whitebark raspberry or non-GMO fruit preserves at commodity level. The code's narrow specificity—non-GMO whitebark raspberry in canned or jarred form—does not match the broad, multi-category food service procurement patterns visible in the recent opportunities block.

The issuing bodies active in this commodity space include state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts of varying sizes (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and county school systems across Georgia and Missouri. These jurisdictions procure food through ITB, IFB, and RFP vehicles with response dates typically 30–60 days from posting. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Connecticut, with scattered opportunities in other states. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 deadline) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case historical pricing; the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 (July 13, 2026 deadline) covering food and consumable products with $1.5 million historical annual value; and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 (February 18, 2026 deadline) for food supply and distribution across 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual expenditure. State and local governments buy canned and jarred fruit products under this code, but current opportunities do not isolate whitebark raspberry SKUs or non-GMO designations as distinct line items or contract focuses; the code shows little decision-relevant recent activity at the commodity level as named.
