UNSPSC 50522703: Non GMO grycleski cranberries

The variety of non GMO cranberries known as non GMO grycleski 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 50522703 Non GMO grycleski cranberries (Commodity) covers fresh fruit and vegetable procurement for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and park concessions, with the recent opportunities showing active sourcing of produce across multiple fruit and vegetable categories for school districts, county parks, and healthcare facilities. State and local governments under this code are purchasing fresh-cut produce, whole fruits, specialty items, and processed vegetables meeting food-safety compliance, seasonal availability, delivery specifications, and often local-sourcing or geographic-preference criteria. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county park and recreation departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity and appear as repeat buyers issuing multiple RFBs and RFPs for produce contracts spanning school years.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Georgia and Wisconsin, with school nutrition programs as the primary customer base. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, contract value $78,000, due July 29, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks requiring Wisconsin sourcing within 400 miles and ready-to-eat processing (approximately 5,900 servings weekly, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles with contract term July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027 (due June 22, 2026); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN 258360 for food services including concession produce at North Collier Regional Park with a three-year term and local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points (due March 6, 2025).

Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million), E-Verify compliance, and food-traceability documentation are standard contractual requirements.
