UNSPSC 50582501: Non GMO amsterdam carrots

The variety of Non GMO carrots known as Non GMO amsterdam carrots. 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 50582501 Non GMO amsterdam carrots, a Commodity code, has no recent state and local procurement activity directly soliciting this specific product. The recent opportunities block shows only food-service aggregated purchasing — broader grocery and produce contracts spanning dozens of line items where carrots may appear as one among many vegetables — rather than single-product or carrot-specific buys. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual procurement patterns in the source data.

State and local activity under produce-related UNSPSC codes focuses on comprehensive fresh-produce supply contracts for school nutrition programs, fresh-fruit-and-vegetable initiatives, and institutional food service. School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix: Early County Schools (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posted IFBs, RFPs, and ITBs between February and May 2026. Georgia school districts represent the largest cluster of recent opportunity volume. These contracts typically specify 50–72 produce line items with estimated annual quantities in the hundreds to thousands of cases, delivered weekly or twice weekly to multiple school sites, with pricing indexed to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service terminal market reports and firm fixed-price terms for one-year initial periods plus renewal options. Recent opportunities posted by Northside ISD (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) and Early County Schools (IFB due June 8, 2026) exemplify the market: institutions seeking reliable weekly delivery of mixed fresh produce to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with emphasis on USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American preferences, and pricing discipline tied to published commodity indexes. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. Single-product carrot procurement, if pursued at all, would be subsumed within these aggregated institutional contracts rather than solicited independently.
