UNSPSC 50582601: Non GMO all the year round cauliflowers

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO all the year round 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 50582601 Non GMO all the year round cauliflowers, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce procurement — specifically non-GMO cauliflower — that state and local governments buy for food service operations across parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and state institutions. Recent solicitations show cauliflower sourced as part of broader fresh-produce and food-supply contracts rather than as a standalone line item; the code reflects purchasing activity embedded in larger food-service and meal-program procurement, where schools, county parks departments, health-care coalitions, and state agencies specify produce quality, delivery schedules, and seasonal availability as contract conditions. State and local issuing bodies under this code include independent school districts (notably Early County Board of Education in Georgia), county park authorities (Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state departments of administrative services (State of Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition in Florida). The scope emphasizes compliance with food-safety standards, USDA nutritional specifications, domestic sourcing preferences, and product freshness guarantees; vendors must deliver on scheduled timelines and maintain cold-chain integrity where required.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and appears concentrated in school lunch-program procurement and county food-service operations. The Early County Board of Education RFQ (PE55045NONST2027000000006), posted May 11, 2026 with bids due June 8, 2026, solicits approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, and low-sodium formulations. The Marion Health Care Coalition RFP (SP0040000017708), posted August 7, 2026 with proposals due August 21, 2026, seeks produce provision and delivery for the 2026-2027 contract period. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners ITN (258360), posted October 8, 2026 with proposals due March 6, 2025, includes food-service concessions at regional parks and water facilities where produce sourcing is part of a larger menu-variety evaluation. The State of Georgia IFB (PE55645NONST2026000000009), posted May 15, 2026 with bids due June 22, 2026, requests food and kitchen products without itemized scope details in the summary, though the full solicitation document specifies quantities and classifications.
