UNSPSC 50582505: Non GMO nantes carrots

The variety of Non GMO carrots known as Non GMO nantes 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 50582505 Non GMO Nantes carrots is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local public bodies, particularly school districts, county parks and recreation departments, and healthcare coalitions serving institutional food service. State and local governments buy carrots and other fresh vegetables under this code primarily for school lunch and breakfast programs, parks concessions, and healthcare facility meal operations. Recent solicitations show school districts sourcing produce as part of comprehensive food bids that emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium and no-added-sugar formulations, and HACCP food-safety protocols. County and municipal parks departments solicit fresh produce through food-service concession contracts requiring vendors to provide high-quality, diverse food and beverage options at multiple venues. Healthcare coalitions and state procurement offices issue produce bids covering fresh fruits and vegetables with delivery timelines, volume requirements, seasonal pricing adjustments, and food-safety guarantees.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and healthcare organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition). Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, and other states with active school food-service programs. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (line-by-line bid, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' North Collier Regional Park Food Services (Invitation to Negotiate, due March 6, 2025) requiring diverse produce and food options for park concessions, athletic tournaments, and water park operations; and Marion Health Care Coalition's Produce Proposals (due August 21, 2026) for provision and delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables to healthcare operations. The State of Georgia issued a food supplies bid (due June 22, 2026) covering food, supplies, and kitchen products across state agencies and institutions.
