UNSPSC 50581912: Non GMO detroit 2 dark red beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO detroit 2 dark red 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 50581912 Non GMO detroit 2 dark red beets (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title targets a single produce variety, but the recent solicitations in the dataset cover comprehensive fresh produce procurement—spanning apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, eggs, and dozens of other items—for school nutrition programs across multiple states. The mismatch between the narrow commodity code and the broad institutional food service demand suggests this code either sees minimal relevant activity or is misapplied to requests that fall under broader produce family or class codes.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs from Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas); Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida); Early County Board of Education (Georgia); Bulloch County School District (Georgia); Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri); Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia); Muscogee County School District (Georgia); Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia); Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia); McAllen Independent School District (Texas); Austin Independent School District (Texas); and Douglas County School System (Georgia), along with state-level procurement from the State of Georgia. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. The Early County Schools procurement (due June 8, 2026, ITB) and Northside Independent School District fresh produce solicitation (due May 7, 2026, RFP) exemplify the market—both seek line-by-line bids for fresh produce delivery to multiple school campuses, with USDA compliance, HACCP certification, domestic sourcing preferences, and firm pricing over a July 2026–June 2027 contract term. If pursuing vendors in this space should focus on broader produce family codes that align with actual institutional food service demand rather than this narrowly coded single-variety commodity.
