UNSPSC 50522707: Non GMO mountain cranberries

The variety of non GMO cranberries known as non GMO mountain 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 50522707 Non GMO mountain cranberries is a Commodity code that represents fresh produce items state and local governments procure for food service operations, though recent solicitations tagged with this code show little activity specifically naming cranberries or non-GMO variants. Instead, the recent opportunities show school districts, county parks departments, and healthcare coalitions soliciting broad fresh produce categories—including berries, citrus, root vegetables, leafy greens, and specialty fruits—through RFB and RFP notices. The work involves sourcing, delivery to designated sites, compliance with food safety and HACCP standards, temperature control requirements, and adherence to Buy American and domestic agricultural commodity content rules where applicable. Vendors must maintain liability insurance, E-Verify authorization, debarment verification, and often provide traceability documentation by farm of origin.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies. Madison Metropolitan School District posted two separate bids in July 2026—one for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29) and one for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Wisconsin (RFB 4163, due July 29), with the latter contingent on federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant approval. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26). Bartow County School System in Georgia solicited local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles through RFP 10-2026-019 (due June 22). Early County Board of Education in Georgia requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including fruits and vegetables (due June 8).
