UNSPSC 50581905: Non GMO bonel beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO bonel 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 50581905 Non GMO bonel beets is a Commodity code describing fresh produce items, specifically non-GMO beets, that state and local governments procure for food service operations. The recent solicitations posted under this code reflect broader fresh-produce procurement across multiple issuing-body categories: county parks and recreation departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), state agricultural or food-service departments (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). The work involves sourcing, delivery, and compliance with food-safety standards, quality specifications, and in many cases domestic-sourcing preferences, low-sodium or reduced-additive formulations, and USDA regulatory alignment. Counties, schools, and state agencies typically require vendors to meet HACCP plans, maintain liability insurance, comply with debarment verification, and provide temperature-controlled delivery and stock rotation where applicable.

Recent procurement activity shows concentrated action in Georgia and Florida. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 with a June 8, 2026 bid deadline for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits across three schools for the 2026–2027 National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contract period; the solicitation emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 due March 6, 2025 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a 10-point local-vendor preference. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-supply RFQ with an August 21, 2026 response date. The State of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 deadline. School districts and county parks appear to be the most active buyers under this commodity code in the recent pipeline.
