UNSPSC 50526307: Non GMO victoria rhubarb

The variety of non GMO rhubarb known as non GMO victoria rhubarb. 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 50526307 Non GMO victoria rhubarb, a Commodity code, shows no recent relevant procurement activity among state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, but they solicit bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, apples, eggs, and other staple produce items — not rhubarb or specialty produce varieties. Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana RFB (4162, due July 29, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) exemplify the typical scope: high-volume, commodity-grade fruits and vegetables delivered weekly to school sites under firm fixed pricing. The code's nominal scope does not align with what state and local procurement offices are actually buying at present.

School nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida dominate recent activity in the fresh-produce category, but their focus remains on high-turnover staples — apples (multiple varieties), bananas, carrots, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, berries, and eggs — rather than specialty or non-GMO-certified items. Douglas County School System's GEC Buying Cooperative RFP (SN 26-004, proposals due March 4, 2026) covers 30 districts with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million across two geographic areas but again targets standard produce lines. The absence of rhubarb, victoria or otherwise, across this representative sample of recent school nutrition procurements suggests this Commodity code sees minimal or no active state and local demand. Vendors in specialty or non-GMO produce should monitor broader fresh-produce family codes and farm-to-school initiatives, but current signals do not support pursuit under this specific code.
