UNSPSC 50581921: Non GMO regalia beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO regalia 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 50581921 Non-GMO regalia beets (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement solicitations. The code represents a specific produce item, but recent school nutrition and food service bids across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri focus on comprehensive fresh produce bundles, multi-item vegetable assortments, and diverse fruit-and-vegetable portfolios rather than single-commodity procurement. School districts and state agencies are issuing RFPs and IFBs for produce contracts that typically enumerate 60–72 line items spanning apples, bananas, peppers, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, potatoes, citrus, and other staples, with specialty items such as berries, grapes, and cucumbers included as part of broader vendor agreements.

The dominant procurement pattern under institutional food service involves school districts—including Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County School District, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, and Austin Independent School District—soliciting produce through RFPs and IFBs with response dates between March and June 2026. These multi-item contracts typically award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis and emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American requirements, HACCP certification, fresh-condition specifications, and weekly or twice-weekly delivery to school campuses. No recent solicitations target regalia beets specifically or suggest demand for non-GMO single-commodity produce procurement at the state or local level, indicating limited near-term pursuit opportunity under this code.
