UNSPSC 50582610: Non GMO snowball cauliflowers

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO snowball 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 50582610 Non GMO snowball cauliflowers, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity. State and local governments buy fresh produce through this code, but the recent solicitations in the dataset do not isolate non-GMO or snowball cauliflower variants as distinct line items—the opportunities name broad fresh produce categories (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower generically, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty vegetables) without variant specification. The code's nominal focus on a single cultivar does not match the composite, multi-item produce procurements that characterize recent state and local solicitations.

School districts dominate recent fresh produce solicitation activity across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida. Early County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) have all issued RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for fresh produce in support of National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and child nutrition services, with response dates ranging from March through June 2026. Bulloch County School District (Georgia) issued an Invitation for Proposal for locally-grown produce under a Farm to School program in April 2026. The State of Georgia has also posted fresh produce solicitations. These procurements typically request line-item bids for dozens of produce categories delivered weekly or twice weekly to multiple school sites, with contract values estimated in the range of $600,000 to $4.4 million annually and performance periods running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, often with renewal options. Bidders must comply with Buy American provisions, USDA food safety standards, HACCP certification, general liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million), and debarment certifications, with awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on either a composite or line-item basis. The code itself reports no set-aside programs or vendor-type restrictions that would narrow the competitive field.
