UNSPSC 50522705: Non GMO lingonberries

The variety of non GMO cranberries known as non GMO lingonberries. 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 50522705 Non GMO lingonberries is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service operations, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct demand for lingonberries specifically. State and local buyers under this code span school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and other institutional food-service operators who source produce through RFBs, RFPs, and ITNs. The work involves specification, pricing, delivery, and quality-assurance management of specialty produce items within larger food-procurement contracts. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, and Early County Board of Education all posted fresh-produce solicitations between May and July 2026—alongside county parks and nutrition programs. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with additional activity in Florida (Collier County) and broader state-level procurement (State of Georgia). Lingonberries do not appear as a line item in any of the recent opportunities posted; the code shows no active demand signal in the current solicitation environment.

The most recent produce-focused opportunities emphasize fresh fruits and vegetables delivered to school food-service operations, parks concessions, and healthcare settings under standardized quality, food-safety, and delivery requirements. Madison Metropolitan School District solicited petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, sourcing restricted to within 400 miles and Wisconsin state boundaries with a $0.20 per pound organic preference discount). Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026, contract July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027). Bartow County School System requested proposals for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). Collier County Parks and Recreation solicited food-service operations via ITN at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025). These solicitations consistently require HACCP plans, food-safety compliance, traceability documentation, and Buy American or local-sourcing preferences; specialty items like lingonberries do not track as routine line items in school-nutrition or parks food-service procurement at present.
