UNSPSC 50532703: Dried non GMO grycleski cranberries

The variety of non GMO cranberries known as non GMO grycleski cranberries that have been dried for preservation. 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 50532703 Dried non-GMO grycleski cranberries is a Commodity code that maps nominally to dried cranberry products, but the recent state and local opportunities carrying this code show no procurement activity for dried cranberries. Instead, the opportunities are uniformly broad food-service contracts spanning fresh produce, grocery items, dairy, proteins, and meal preparation and delivery services for school districts, county boards of education, state facilities, and municipal governments. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all tag to comprehensive food procurement solicitations rather than reflecting its literal commodity scope. The issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport, City of Dallas, City of Meriden). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, accounting for the majority of solicitations.

Recent procurement is geographically dispersed across multiple states, with notable clusters in Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, State of Georgia fresh produce and food supplies), Florida (Hillsborough County senior meals), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Texas (HHSC El Paso, City of Dallas), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District). Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) seeking weekly grocery delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens under a July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 term; Meriden Public Schools' RFP 026-41 Commercial & USDA Foods (released January 28, 2026, proposals due February 25, 2026) with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3,100,000; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 Food Supply and Distribution (January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) for approximately $9,000,000 in annual food product delivery across 32 schools; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-00289 Senior Meals Preparation and Delivery (June 3, 2026, due June 25, 2026) with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90.
