UNSPSC 50581902: Non GMO albina vereduna beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO albina vereduna beets. 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 50581902 Non GMO albina vereduna beets, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh produce procurement by state and local food-service operations, though recent solicitations show limited activity directly targeting this specific variety. State and local governments procuring under this code purchase fresh vegetables and produce items for food-service operations at parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and other institutional venues. The issuing bodies include county parks and recreation departments, school districts, health-care coalitions, and state procurement offices. Work solicited ranges from single-vendor food-concession contracts requiring diverse fresh-food offerings to line-item produce bidding for school lunch programs and institutional food service. Vendors must meet food-safety compliance, delivery timelines, product-freshness guarantees, and regulatory standards including HACCP plans, Buy American provisions where applicable, and health-department certification.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing bodies. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, seeking vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options including fresh produce across multiple venues; the contract offers a 10-point local-vendor preference for Collier or Lee County businesses. Early County Board of Education issued a line-item food bid on May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for school lunch and breakfast programs across three schools, with emphasis on domestic sourcing and whole-grain/low-sodium formulations. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals on August 7, 2026 due August 21, 2026 for fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period. The State of Georgia requested bids on food supplies and kitchen products on May 15, 2026 due June 22, 2026. The code shows modest recent activity across Georgia, Florida, and county-level issuers, with school districts and parks departments as primary buyers.
