UNSPSC 50552706: Canned or jarred non GMO mcfarlin cranberries

The variety of non GMO cranberries known as non GMO mcfarlin cranberries that have been canned or jarred 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 50552706 Canned or jarred non-GMO McFarlin cranberries is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities dataset shows no solicitations specifically for this cranberry product; instead, state and local buyers are procuring a broader range of canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, pears, and mixed produce—alongside fresh produce, dried fruit items, and comprehensive food-service portfolios that span proteins, dairy, grains, and specialty items. The actual buying activity under codes near this designation centers on institutional food service for corrections facilities, schools, health and human services agencies, and related public consumption, where fruit products function as components of larger nutrition programs rather than standalone specialty items.

Recent opportunities originate from school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Rockwood R-VI and Douglas County School Systems in Missouri and Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), corrections and human services agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases). Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (pricing due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually). Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with the densest recent clustering in school nutrition and institutional food service procurement. The code itself shows negligible independent procurement signal; vendors targeting this taxonomy should position canned fruit products within broader food-service and commodity-supply relationships rather than expect standalone demand for specialty cranberry items at the state and local level.
