UNSPSC 50522513: Non GMO larian cherries

The variety of non GMO cherries known as non GMO larian cherries. 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 50522513 Non GMO larian cherries is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's name suggests a specific fresh fruit item, yet the recent opportunities block identifies no solicitations for non-GMO larian cherries or any specialty cherry variant. Instead, the posted opportunities span school nutrition procurement for broad fresh produce categories—apples, bananas, berries, melons, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables, and eggs—issued by school districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida. The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual buying activity suggests either that larian cherries are rarely procured through state and local channels, or that jurisdictions tag cherry purchases under broader commodity codes rather than this specific line item.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notices posted by Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia, multi-district cooperative), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia). Georgia school districts dominate the geographic concentration, with Texas and Florida representing secondary activity. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, $78,000 annual estimated value) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (due July 29, 2026, contingent on federal grant approval), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026), and Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally-grown produce within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026). None of these solicitations specifically name larian cherries as a line item.
