UNSPSC 50522706: Non GMO mcfarlin cranberries

The variety of non GMO cranberries known as non GMO mcfarlin 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 50522706 Non GMO mcfarlin cranberries (Commodity) describes a specialized fresh fruit product that state and local governments procure primarily for school food service and institutional dining operations. Recent solicitations show schools and health-care coalitions buying fresh produce, including specialty and commodity fruits and vegetables, delivered to centralized distribution points or individual school sites. The code's nominal scope—non-GMO cranberries specifically—does not align closely with the broader fresh-produce procurement activity visible in the recent opportunities block; however, when cranberries appear as line items in larger produce contracts, they fall under this taxonomy.

State and local school districts dominate the issuing bodies, including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia). One health-care coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition in Florida) and one county parks-and-recreation authority (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Florida) appear in the recent activity. School districts in Georgia and Wisconsin show the most recent solicitation volume. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (bids due July 29, 2026, projected annual value $78,000) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple varieties (bids due June 26, 2026, contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). Bartow County School System issued an RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables with proposals due June 22, 2026, emphasizing sourcing within 400 miles and seasonal variety. School nutrition procurement typically applies Buy American content thresholds, HACCP plan requirements, E-Verify verification, and affirmative-action or diversity-owned-business preference provisions where applicable. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia and Wisconsin among recent filings.
