UNSPSC 50582107: Non GMO widgeon brussel sprouts

The variety of Non GMO brussel sprouts known as Non GMO widgeon 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 50582107 Non GMO widgeon brussel sprouts is a Commodity-tier code that sees no recent relevant activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass broad fresh produce and food service groceries for school nutrition programs, state operations, and child nutrition services spanning multiple states—none of which specifically solicit non-GMO widgeon brussel sprouts or identify this variety as a line item in their procurements. The code designation appears misaligned with the actual solicitation scope.

State and local school districts and education agencies (Early County Schools, Northside Independent School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Glynn County Schools, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia and Texas, plus state procurement offices in Georgia and Missouri) are actively soliciting fresh produce under broader commodity and family-level codes through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs with response deadlines ranging from March through June 2026. These solicitations address apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, tomatoes, peppers, and other staple produce items in volume for child nutrition and state food service operations, but do not target this specific heirloom or specialty variety. The mismatch between the code name and posted opportunities suggests that produce vendors pursuing state and local school nutrition contracts should monitor broader fresh-produce family codes rather than rely on this narrow commodity classification to surface relevant business.
