UNSPSC 50532710: Dried non GMO stevens cranberries

The variety of non GMO cranberries known as non GMO stevens 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 50532710 Dried non GMO Stevens cranberries is a Commodity code capturing specialty dried fruit products that state and local governments purchase primarily for school food service and institutional nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show this code applied to broader grocery and food-supply contracts where dried cranberries appear as line items within multi-hundred-item produce and pantry catalogs rather than as standalone procurements. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners' offices. The Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission El Paso State Supported Living Center are representative buyers, with school nutrition programs dominating the recent activity. Work solicited includes bulk dried fruit supply for National School Lunch Program compliance, with products required to meet Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, carry printed nutritional labels, and adhere to Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and South—Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas show the most recent postings—with school districts representing the highest volume of state and local buyers. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery goods (due June 30, 2026) supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services with deliveries to a central warehouse and school sites on firm fixed pricing; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ items including specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026) covering July 2026 through June 2027; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million. All school-based solicitations require USDA compliance documentation, health inspection records, vendor liability insurance, and blind product testing at vendor expense. Payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days with firm pricing for the contract period unless major market changes occur with advance notice.
