UNSPSC 50532707: Dried non GMO mountain cranberries

The variety of non GMO cranberries known as non GMO mountaincranberries 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 50532707 Dried non-GMO mountain cranberries, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span comprehensive school nutrition grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, senior meal preparation and delivery, and institutional food service—none of which feature dried cranberries as a primary or named line item. The City of Bridgeport's school nutrition grocery bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) encompasses over 1,100 line items including breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and snacks under Buy American Provision requirements; the Douglas County School System RFP SN26-003 for food supply and distribution across 32 schools specifies main entrees, grains, fruits, vegetables, and staple items with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) addresses food and consumable products for a state supported living center; Hillsborough County's senior meal procurement (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026) covers congregate and home-delivered meals estimated at $17,832,659.90 over three years. School districts and counties dominate this activity, though state agencies and senior service authorities also participate. Fairfax County Public Schools, the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, and Bulloch County Board of Education all issued recent grocery or produce solicitations, with Georgia and Florida showing particular procurement volume.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic, with Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County) issuing multiple RFPs or IFBs for fresh produce and grocery supply, Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools RFP 026-41 for approximately $3,100,000, due February 25, 2026), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12, due April 27, 2026), Florida (Hillsborough County senior meals), Texas (HHSC El Paso), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District summer meal boxes) represented in the pipeline. The source provides no evidence that dried cranberries—fresh or processed—are being competitively solicited under this code at scale. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity scope and the institutional food service and grocery aggregation activity actually being purchased suggests limited relevance to vendors focused on dried fruit or specialty produce items unless bundled within larger master grocery or produce framework agreements.
