UNSPSC 50582600: Non GMO cauliflowers

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO cauliflowers. 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 50582600 Non GMO cauliflowers is a Class code that captures fresh produce procurement, specifically vegetables sourced for institutional food service operations across parks, healthcare facilities, schools, and state agencies. State and local governments buy cauliflowers and related fresh vegetables primarily through food-service contracts that bundle produce with broader catering, concession, or cafeteria operations. The issuing bodies are diverse: county parks and recreation departments, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices. Early County Board of Education, Collier County, Marion Health Care Coalition, and the State of Georgia all posted produce-related solicitations within the past six months, indicating active routine procurement across multiple jurisdiction types.

Recent opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' March 2026 Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025), which required vendors to provide diverse high-quality food and beverage options including fresh vegetables for concession operations; Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line food bid (PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items including fresh vegetables and fruits to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools; and Marion Health Care Coalition's August 2026 produce vendor solicitation (SP0040000017708, due August 21, 2026) seeking fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period. The State of Georgia also solicited food supplies and kitchen products in May 2026 (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026). Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with school districts and county government representing the dominant buyers.
