UNSPSC 50581919: Non GMO monogram beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO monogram 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 50581919 Non GMO monogram beets is a Commodity code that maps to produce procurement in state and local food service, though the recent solicitations tagged under it show limited direct activity for this specific product. State and local governments buy fresh produce—including fresh fruits and vegetables—under this code through food service vendors serving parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and other institutional operations. The issuing bodies include county boards, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices. Procurement is typically structured as line-item bids or ITNs (Invitations to Negotiate) for produce delivery with requirements covering quality standards, delivery schedules, temperature maintenance, and compliance with food safety regulations such as HACCP plans and state documentation requirements. Vendors must often meet domestic sourcing preferences and provide USDA-compliant products; some solicitations include pricing escalation provisions tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data.

Recent activity spans Florida (Collier County ITN for park concessions, Marion Health Care Coalition RFQ), Georgia (state food, supplies, and kitchen products bid in May 2026), and early county school districts. The most concrete representative opportunity is Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid (Solicitation PE55045NONST2027000000006, ITB, due June 8, 2026), which sought line-item bids for approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits, with delivery Monday through Friday to three schools, domestic sourcing preferences, and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. Collier County's North Collier Regional Park concessions ITN (due March 6, 2025) required food vendors to provide diverse produce and beverage options across park venues, subject to local-vendor preference evaluation and a 10-point scoring advantage for businesses meeting Collier or Lee County residency criteria. The code shows modest recent activity; most solicitations bundle produce with broader food service or supplies procurement rather than isolating specific produce lines.
