UNSPSC 50556227: Canned or jarred non GMO wine raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO wine 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 50556227 Canned or jarred non-GMO wine raspberry is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity captured in recent opportunities. The source records show no solicitations directly matching canned or jarred non-GMO wine raspberry products. Instead, the recent opportunities reflect a much broader food-service procurement landscape across school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities—purchases of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, grocery staples, proteins, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies for institutional meal programs serving students, incarcerated populations, and residents of state health facilities. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent activity suggests this code either sees minimal direct procurement or is rarely used by state and local buyers for specialty fruit products.

The recent opportunities spanning February through July 2026 cluster heavily among school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD, Douglas County, and Hancock County), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and county boards of education across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. These jurisdictions use RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs to procure food products in volume—typically under annual contracts with firm pricing—for delivery to central warehouses, school nutrition centers, and multiple institutional locations. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases due July 31, 2026), the Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, $4.5 million potential value over three years), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (multi-site delivery to 45 schools and distribution kitchens, IFB due April 27, 2026). Geographic concentration is strongest in the Southeast (Georgia and Florida school systems), Texas (state health agencies and prison system), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Corrections). The code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated commodity category; business development focus should target broader food-service family codes capturing institutional meal procurement rather than pursue this specialty code in isolation.
