UNSPSC 50582702: Non GMO celeriac

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO celeriac. 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 50582702 Non GMO celeriac is a Commodity code covering fresh produce procurement by state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments buy fresh vegetables through this code as part of broader food-service supply chains — both as standalone produce contracts and as line items within comprehensive food-service solicitations. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation departments, school districts, state procurement offices, and health-care coalitions. The work ranges from concession-stand operations at regional parks to institutional food service for school breakfast and lunch programs to facility-level produce delivery for healthcare providers.

Recent opportunities show activity across Florida and Georgia. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) in October 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025, with evaluation criteria including menu variety and operational planning for multiple food venues; Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce proposal request in August 2026 for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery during the 2026-2027 contract period, due August 21, 2026; the State of Georgia released a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid in May 2026 due June 22, 2026; and Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line food bids in May 2026 due June 8, 2026, encompassing approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits for school lunch and breakfast programs. School districts and state procurement offices appear to be the most active buyers under this code, typically bundling produce into larger food-service contracts with firm pricing, delivery schedules, and compliance requirements including HACCP documentation and Buy American provisions.
