UNSPSC 50522517: Non GMO early rivers cherries

The variety of non GMO cherries known as non GMO early rivers 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 50522517 Non-GMO early rivers cherries, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity — the source contains no solicitations actually seeking this specific product line. State and local school districts posting under this code are instead procuring broadly across produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, fresh vegetables, citrus, melons, stone fruits, and eggs) as part of annual school nutrition and child nutrition programs; none of the opportunities identify early rivers cherries or any non-GMO cherry specification as a standalone line item. The code's nominal scope (a single specialty cherry variety with a production qualification) does not match the actual buying pattern, which emphasizes commodity produce staples in high volume at cost-competitive pricing tied to USDA market reporting.

If you are pursuing institutional fresh-produce supply contracts, watch the broader produce family codes — school nutrition departments across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida are actively sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables through RFP, RFQ, and IFB notices, with response dates clustering in March through July 2026. Representative buyers include Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 and 4163, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB, due June 26, 2026), Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026). Evaluation criteria typically weight cost at 30–50%, with significant secondary points for vendor qualifications, product quality, delivery reliability, compliance with Buy American provisions, and HACCP food-safety documentation. This code itself does not represent a current procurement pathway.
