UNSPSC 50526308: Non GMO zwolle seedling rhubarb

The variety of non GMO rhubarb known as non GMO zwolle seedling 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 50526308 Non GMO Zwolle Seedling Rhubarb, Commodity, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code specifies a single produce variety — rhubarb seedlings — yet the recent solicitation data shows no demand for rhubarb or seedling nursery stock. Instead, the most recent opportunities under this classification tag fresh produce for school nutrition programs: bananas, fresh fruits and vegetables, apples, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, berries, eggs, and prepared produce items. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error or extremely limited market activity for this specific commodity.

School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Florida, and Texas dominate recent procurement under the code's current tag, with opportunities from Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System, Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Bulloch County School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System (via GEC Buying Cooperative). Recent RFPs and IFBs include Madison Metropolitan's petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) at $78,000 annual contract value, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County's fresh produce for 2026-27 (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026 with over 200 line items), and Douglas County's cooperative buying arrangement serving 30 districts with approximately $5.5 million in annual spending across fresh produce and eggs (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). If your firm supplies bulk fresh produce or prepared vegetables to institutional food service, monitor the active Georgia and Texas school nutrition procurement cycle; if your focus is rhubarb seedlings for nurseries or growers, this code shows no current state and local buying signal.
