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 (Class) does not see active relevant procurement from state and local government bodies. The sixteen recent opportunities tagged to this code all solicit for broad fresh produce and grocery categories — fresh fruit and vegetable assortments, school nutrition program supplies, and general food service — rather than cauliflowers specifically, whether GMO or non-GMO. The code's nominal scope is too narrow to match the actual buying patterns in the source material.

State and local procurement activity in this family centers on school districts and educational service cooperatives acquiring multi-item produce contracts to support child nutrition programs (National School Lunch, School Breakfast, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program), supplemented by a handful of state agency and county school system solicitations for grocery staples. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Northside ISD in Texas, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), regional school nutrition cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts), county school systems (Muscogee, Liberty, Glynn, Bulloch, Douglas), and state-level agencies (Georgia state operations). Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 deadline RFP for line-by-line food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs; Northside Independent School District's May 7, 2026 RFP for fresh produce delivery to 47 campuses; Hillsborough County Public Schools' March 11, 2026 RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (estimated annual budget $600,000); and the GEC Buying Cooperative's March 4, 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas. None of these opportunities isolate non-GMO cauliflower as a line item or category; cauliflower appears only incidentally within broader vegetable specifications alongside broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and leafy greens. If pursuit hinges on cauliflower sales, this code is not the entry point.
