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 is a Commodity code that in practice captures fresh produce procurement by state and local food service operations — including county parks departments, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices — that source vegetables, fruits, and related fresh products for dining, concession, and meal-program delivery. The recent opportunities under this code show state and local buyers soliciting fresh produce as part of broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys; the work spans concession operations at regional parks, school lunch and breakfast programs, healthcare facility food services, and state-level institutional food purchasing. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, independent school districts, state procurement offices, and regional healthcare coalitions. The scope of work typically includes provision and delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables meeting quality standards, food-safety compliance, delivery timelines, and volume requirements specified in the contract, often with seasonal pricing adjustments and freshness guarantees.

Recent activity appears across the Southeast and includes Collier County, Florida (Parks and Recreation Division), which posted an ITN on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a response deadline of March 6, 2025; Marion Health Care Coalition, which solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026; the State of Georgia, which requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and Early County Board of Education in Georgia, which posted line-by-line bids for food and non-food products for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program due June 8, 2026. The Georgia school district bid emphasized domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend.
