UNSPSC 50532706: Dried non GMO mcfarlin cranberries

The variety of non GMO cranberries known as non GMO mcfarlin 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 50532706 Dried non-GMO McFarlin cranberries is a Commodity code that captures single-ingredient dried fruit products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code is minimal and does not reflect meaningful cranberry purchasing. Instead, the indexed opportunities show broad school nutrition and senior meal procurement spanning fresh produce, complete grocery inventories, and prepared meal services where dried cranberries would function as one line item among hundreds. State and local buying under this code tier occurs primarily through school districts and county school systems, with notable participation from state agencies and county commissions. The Bridgeport Board of Education's BNB052266 (RFQ, due June 30, 2026) sought grocery items across 1,100 line items for the National School Lunch Program; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 (IFB, due July 13, 2026) requested food and consumable products for a state-supported living center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covered food delivery to 45 schools and distribution centers across the district's fiscal year. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) all issued solicitations for comprehensive school nutrition supplies during the same window, with Georgia school districts appearing most frequently in recent postings.

The geographic footprint of recent activity spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with Georgia school districts dominating the recent opportunity set. Meriden Public Schools' RFP 026-41 (due February 25, 2026) valued the 2026-2027 contract at approximately $3.1 million for groceries, produce, and USDA Foods across 13 school sites; the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) estimated annual food supply and distribution at approximately $9 million for 32 schools serving 25,500 students; and the same district's RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) projected $4.4 million in Area One fresh produce and eggs spending across an 18-district GEC cooperative. Most opportunities specify firm fixed pricing for the contract term, Buy American provision compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP food safety plans, and delivery to multiple school sites on Monday-through-Friday schedules. The code shows no concentration in a single jurisdiction—activity is distributed across numerous independent school districts and county systems—and represents a fragmented buyer base where dried cranberries would typically be bid as a commodity line item nested within larger master grocery or fresh produce aggregations rather than as a standalone procurement target.
