UNSPSC 50582004: Non GMO chinese broccoli

The variety of Non GMO broccoli known as Non GMO chinese broccoli. 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 50582004 Non GMO Chinese broccoli, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent procurement activity. State and local governments buying under this code are sourcing fresh produce — particularly vegetables and leafy greens — for child nutrition programs and institutional food service, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically seeking Chinese broccoli by name or variety, instead showing broader fresh produce, grocery, and meal-service contracts that may include broccoli among dozens of other produce items.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies across recent solicitations. Repeat buyers include the State of Georgia (which posted multiple fresh-produce IFBs in April–May 2026), Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Bulloch County Board of Education and other Georgia school districts, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri. The geographic spread centers on Georgia (with at least seven school districts and two state-level IFBs), Texas (Northside ISD, Austin ISD, McAllen ISD), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and Missouri (Rockwood), with secondary activity across multiple other states. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-item food bid (RFP PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items across meats, produce, and dairy; Northside Independent School District's fresh-produce RFP 2026-048 (due May 7, 2026) requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown prioritization; Bulloch County's Farm to School produce RFP for 24 locally-grown items within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026); and Douglas County School System's cooperative buying RFP SN 26-004 for 30 Georgia school districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend (due March 4, 2026). All solicitations emphasize delivery to school locations during normal operating hours, compliance with food-safety standards (HACCP, GAP certification), and Buy American provisions. Chinese broccoli does not appear by name in any recent posting, suggesting the code is either rarely tagged explicitly or that broccoli procurement falls under broader fresh-produce commodity codes in actual state and local practice.
