UNSPSC 50522700: Non GMO cranberries

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO cranberries. 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 50522700 Non GMO cranberries is a Class code covering specialty produce procurement by state and local food service operations, particularly school districts and parks departments sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables for dining programs and concessions. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy fresh produce — including cranberries and a broad range of fruits and vegetables — for school nutrition programs (breakfast and lunch), county park concessions, healthcare facility food service, and specialized USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program initiatives. Recent solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, food safety compliance (HACCP plans and traceability documentation), local or regional supply chains where feasible, and adherence to USDA commodity specifications and Buy American provisions. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia).

The code shows active procurement across multiple states: Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County).
