UNSPSC 50536307: Dried non GMO victoria rhubarb

The variety of non GMO rhubarb known as non GMO victoria rhubarb that has 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 50536307 Dried non-GMO Victoria rhubarb is a Commodity code that sees virtually no state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried rhubarb or any rhubarb products. The code appears dormant in current state and local government purchasing patterns.

The block instead shows a dense cluster of school nutrition procurement, senior meal services, and institutional food supply work—solicitations from school districts, county boards of education, state supported living centers, and municipal aging services offices across Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, Florida, and Virginia. These opportunities span master grocery contracts (Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323, Meriden Public Schools RFP02641), fresh produce supply (Hancock County Schools IFB, Savannah-Chatham County SCCPSS Bid 26-34, Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004), institutional food service distribution (Douglas County RFP 26-003), and specialized meal preparation and delivery (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB-26-00289 for senior meals, City of Dallas RFCSP for boxed meal delivery). None of these opportunities name dried rhubarb as a line item, procurement category, or specification. The code does not align with the activity the source actually reports.
