UNSPSC 50582105: Non GMO rampart brussel sprouts

The variety of Non GMO brussel sprouts known as Non GMO rampart brussel sprouts. 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 50582105 Non GMO rampart brussel sprouts is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. State and local school districts and state agencies are posting produce solicitations at scale, but none of the recent bids specifically name non-GMO brussel sprouts or any single vegetable item—they call for comprehensive fresh produce supply across dozens of line items (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, citrus, potatoes, eggs, and many others) to support child nutrition programs and institutional food service. The code's narrow commodity scope mismatches the broad, mixed-produce requirements that characterize actual school nutrition procurement. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with a handful of state agency opportunities and one cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). No repeat buyers stand out within this specific commodity code.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. The Douglas County School System RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) seeks fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively, awarded on a line-item basis to multiple vendors. The Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) requires fresh produce for child nutrition across all campuses with pricing tied to USDA specialty-crops terminal market reports and monthly adjustments. Bulloch County School District (due May 4, 2026) emphasizes locally grown produce within 200 miles; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa (RFP 26039RFQDST, due March 11, 2026) operates a USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program for elementary students with an estimated $600,000 annual budget. Austin ISD (due March 11, 2026) explicitly prohibits third-party logistics subcontracting and requires vendor participation in the Good Food Purchasing Program. Multiple Georgia school districts (Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, and Early County) issued IFBs and RFPs between March and June 2026 for annual produce contracts, all requiring Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and firm or fixed pricing for 12-month periods with renewal options. The code appears underutilized for tracking individual vegetable commodities at the state and local level; procurement offices instead use broader produce and food-service family codes to solicit the multi-item institutional contracts that dominate this market segment.
