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, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs—bananas, berries, apples, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, and eggs—but none reference cranberries or cranberry products of any kind, let alone non-GMO mcfarlin cranberries specifically. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity name.

School districts, county boards of education, and independent school districts across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida are the primary issuing bodies driving the majority of recent procurement activity in this tagged category, with opportunities posted from February through July 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts totaling approximately $5.5 million annual estimated spend (due March 4, 2026). The geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and extends to Wisconsin and Texas, with procurement activity focused on ongoing school nutrition program supply. The code's taxonomy assignment does not reflect the commodity being actively solicited, and vendors pursuing opportunities in this category should verify the actual product requirements in each RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB rather than relying on the UNSPSC code descriptor.
