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. The recent state and local procurement record shows little relevant activity under this code. Of the 16 recent school nutrition and food service solicitations posted by districts and counties across Georgia, Texas, and Florida from February through July 2026, none specifically name non-GMO mountain cranberries or single-ingredient specialty fruit items. The two opportunities posted by Madison Metropolitan School District Food & Nutrition (RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026) seek broader produce categories—bananas and ready-to-eat vegetables in the latter—rather than a narrowly defined cranberry product. School districts dominate the recent issuing-body mix, including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia), alongside the State of Georgia's central food procurement office.

Georgia accounts for the heaviest concentration of recent activity, with 11 of the 16 opportunities, followed by Texas with two (McAllen and Austin ISDs) and Florida with one (Hillsborough County). The recent solicitations reflect institutional food service procurement for school lunch and breakfast programs, the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and farm-to-school initiatives, but the focus remains on high-volume, staple produce items—bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and eggs—rather than specialty or regionally specific berries. None of the RFBs, RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs posted since February 2026 reference non-GMO certification requirements or single-berry sourcing, and no vendor has been awarded a contract specifically for mountain cranberries. The code shows minimal procurement signal in the current state and local market.
