UNSPSC 50582604: Non GMO dok elgon cauliflowers

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO dok elgon 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 50582604 Non GMO dok elgon cauliflowers (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting dok elgon cauliflowers or non-GMO cauliflower varieties by name. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad school nutrition produce procurement—fresh fruit and vegetable contracts serving K–12 school districts across multiple states—where cauliflower appears as one line item among 60 to 300+ produce categories in institutional food service RFPs and IFBs, not as a specialized or differentiated product requiring non-GMO or varietal certification.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school systems (Northside Independent School District in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Bulloch County School District in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Glynn County Board of Education in Georgia, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Early County Board of Education in Georgia) along with one state purchasing office (State of Georgia). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, driven by school district child nutrition procurement for the 2026–2027 school year. Representative solicitations include the Northside Independent School District RFP for Fresh Produce for Child Nutrition (due May 7, 2026), requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant fresh produce with five-day-per-week delivery, and the Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 for Fresh Produce (due April 14, 2026), encompassing approximately 60 produce line items including vegetables delivered weekly to 16 school locations. Cauliflower specifications in these procurements typically call for fresh commodity-grade product with no emphasis on non-GMO status, heritage varieties, or supplier differentiation by seed type or cultivation method. This code's narrow focus on a specific cauliflower variety does not match the broad, commodity-level produce procurement activity presently occurring under state and local school nutrition contracts.
