UNSPSC 50522530: Non GMO ranier cherries

The variety of non GMO cherries known as non GMO ranier 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 50522530 Non GMO ranier cherries is a Commodity code that describes specialty fresh fruit procurement, though recent state and local opportunities show little activity specifically targeting this product line. The code encompasses fresh premium cherry varieties meeting organic or non-GMO specifications, typically sourced for food service operations including school nutrition programs, healthcare facilities, and county recreational venues. State and local buyers soliciting produce under related UNSPSC codes are school districts, county boards of education, county parks departments, and healthcare-affiliated organizations seeking fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts. The scope of work reflects institutional food service operations that emphasize quality standards, food safety compliance, delivery reliability, and often local or regional sourcing preferences.

Geographic activity in recent produce procurement concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with school districts and county boards of education driving most solicitations. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items including multiple apple and berry varieties for the 2026–27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026; Bartow County School System (Georgia) issuing an RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles with proposals due June 22, 2026; Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issuing separate RFBs for petite bananas (bids due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks processed and delivered ready-to-eat (bids due July 29, 2026); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) soliciting food and beverage services via ITN for North Collier Regional Park, posted October 8, 2026. No recent solicitations specifically name non-GMO Rainier cherries as a line item; the code's current activity appears limited or unmatched to recent state and local RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITN postings.
