UNSPSC 50581601: Non GMO connover's colossal asparagus

The variety of Non GMO asparagus known as Non GMO connover's colossal asparagus. 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 50581601 Non GMO Connover's colossal asparagus, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct purchasing activity aligned with its specific product scope. The recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of the asparagus variety itself; instead, they span broader food-service contracting including fresh produce generically, packaged food items, and full food-service operations at parks and schools. When sourcing does involve fresh vegetables, procurement notices treat produce as a line item within larger food-supply or meal-service contracts rather than as a standalone commodity. State and local governments procure under this code through county parks departments, school districts, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions.

Recent opportunities come from Collier County (Florida) Parks and Recreation Division, which posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) due March 6, 2025 for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park including the Sun N Fun Water Park; the Early County Board of Education (Georgia), which posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 spanning approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program; Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida), which posted a produce-vendor request due August 21, 2026; and the State of Georgia, which posted a food-supplies bid due June 22, 2026. Activity clusters in Florida and Georgia. The code appears underutilized for direct asparagus procurement; firms should treat it as a minor sub-line within broader food-supply or produce-vendor vehicles rather than as a primary targeting category.
