UNSPSC 50582301: Non GMO black cabbages

The variety of Non GMO cabbages known as Non GMO black cabbage. 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 50582301 Non GMO black cabbages, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce supplied to state and local food-service operations, including school lunch and breakfast programs, county parks and recreation concessions, healthcare facilities, and state institutional kitchens. Recent state and local solicitations frame the work as part of broader fresh-produce procurement — the code does not appear as a standalone line item in current opportunities. State and local governments buying under this code are school districts, county parks departments, regional healthcare coalitions, and state agencies. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited line-by-line food bids including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs; Marion Health Care Coalition sought fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period; Collier County Board of County Commissioners sought food services for regional park concessions; and the State of Georgia requested bids on food supplies and kitchen products. The issuing bodies span rural school districts, county park systems, state procurement offices, and regional health coalitions.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Florida. The most recent representative opportunity is the Early County Board of Education line-item food bid (Invitation for Bid, response due June 8, 2026), which included fresh vegetables and fruits as part of a 300+ item national school lunch program procurement. The Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals (response due August 21, 2026). Collier County's North Collier Regional Park food services procurement (Invitation to Negotiate, response due March 6, 2025) required fresh produce as part of concession operations at soccer, softball, and water park facilities. The State of Georgia posted a food supplies and kitchen products bid (response due June 22, 2026) with full scope details in an attached document. No recent opportunities isolate non-GMO black cabbage as a distinct line-item specification; procurement under this code appears embedded in consolidated produce or food-service buys.
