UNSPSC 50582701: Non GMO celebrity celery

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO celebrity celery. 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 50582701 Non GMO celebrity celery is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh produce — primarily fresh fruits and vegetables sourced to support food service operations across parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and state agencies. The recent opportunities under this code show school districts, county park systems, state purchasing offices, and healthcare coalitions buying produce as part of broader food-service and nutrition programs. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for school lunch and breakfast programs included approximately 300+ food items spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments delivered Monday through Friday to three schools; the district emphasized domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Collier County Board of County Commissioners' March 2026 ITN for North Collier Regional Park food concessions required vendors to provide diverse, high-quality food and beverage options across multiple venues during regular operations and peak tournament seasons, with a 10-point local-vendor preference applied to qualified Collier or Lee County businesses.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent opportunities posted from Georgia (state-level food-supplies bid, May 2026), Florida (Collier County, October 2026), and Marion Health Care Coalition produce procurement (August 2026). The issuing-body mix spans school districts (Early County Board of Education), county government (Collier County Procurement Services Division), state purchasing (Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Early County's bid due June 8, 2026 required line-by-line pricing on food items with firm pricing for 15 days from award and options to extend up to three months; Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposal due August 21, 2026 called for vendors to meet quality standards, delivery timelines, and volume requirements with seasonal pricing adjustments permitted. No recent opportunities specifically identified "Non GMO celebrity celery" by name, and the code's nominal scope does not directly match the concrete produce procurements appearing under it — the recent solicitations use the code to tag broad produce and food-service categories rather than a single branded or cultivar-specific product line.
