UNSPSC 50522701: Non GMO ben lear cranberries

The variety of non GMO cranberries known as non GMO ben lear 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 50522701 Non GMO ben lear cranberries is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities in the source are tagged to this code but solicit fresh produce broadly—petite bananas, berries, apples, carrots, leafy greens, eggs, and other staple produce items for school nutrition programs—not cranberries, let alone non-GMO Bosc or ben lear varietal cranberries. School districts and cooperative purchasing entities dominate the issuing-body mix, with examples including Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Hancock County Board of Education and Bulloch County School District in Georgia, and the Douglas County School System operating through the GEC Buying Cooperative across 30 Georgia school districts. The geographic footprint spans Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida, with the heaviest recent activity in Georgia school districts.

Representative opportunities confirm the mismatch: Madison Metropolitan School District solicited petite bananas under RFB 4162 (due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under RFB 4163 (due July 29, 2026), with weekly deliveries to school sites and estimated annual contract value of $78,000 for bananas alone. Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, specialty items) with bids due June 26, 2026, and delivery to three school sites July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Douglas County School System, through the GEC Buying Cooperative, issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026. The code does not support cranberry procurement activity in the source material; firms pursuing this code should verify whether the UNSPSC classification aligns with their actual product offerings and assess whether broader fresh produce contracts under family or class codes better match their market position.
