UNSPSC 50581604: Non GMO lucullus asparagus

The variety of Non GMO asparagus known as Non GMO lucullus 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 50581604 Non GMO lucullus asparagus, a Commodity code, represents fresh produce procurement by state and local government entities for food service operations. Recent solicitations show the code capturing general produce contracting—fresh fruits and vegetables, and broader food-service commodity buys that include asparagus among a large basket of produce items, meats, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies. State and local buyers use this code across school districts, county parks and recreation divisions, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices. The work involves vendor proposals to supply fresh produce meeting quality, delivery, and food-safety standards; contracts typically run one fiscal or calendar year with renewal options. Pricing is often subject to seasonal adjustment, and vendors must comply with health regulations, obtain necessary permits, carry liability insurance, and in some cases meet domestic-sourcing or local-vendor preferences.

The code shows recent activity across Georgia, Florida, and at least one healthcare coalition with unspecified geography. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing a line-by-line bid due June 8, 2026 for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits across three schools serving the National School Lunch Program; Marion Health Care Coalition seeking produce proposals due August 21, 2026; the State of Georgia requesting bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issuing an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) due March 6, 2025 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with concession operations across multiple venues. School districts and county parks divisions dominate recent posting activity, suggesting steady demand for fresh-produce provision as a component of broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone asparagus-specific buys.
