UNSPSC 50582706: Non GMO giant red celery

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO giant red 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 50582706 Non GMO giant red celery, a Commodity code, is tagged to produce and fresh vegetable supply contracts that state and local governments issue for food service operations across parks, healthcare facilities, schools, and other institutional settings. The code sees solicitation activity from county park departments, health care coalitions, state procurement offices, and school district food-service programs, which collectively manage institutional food service ranging from water parks and sports facilities to school lunch programs and healthcare nutrition. Recent opportunities show that issuing bodies are purchasing fresh vegetables, mixed produce, and specialty items as components of broader food-service or food-supply contracts rather than as standalone single-commodity procurements; the contracts emphasize quality standards, delivery schedules, food-safety compliance, and seasonal sourcing.

Activity is distributed across multiple states with recent posting dates in 2026. Collier County, Florida issued an ITN (response due March 6, 2025) for food services at North Collier Regional Park, which includes concession operations that require produce supply among other food items. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals (due August 21, 2026) for the 2026-2027 contract period. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education in Georgia solicited line-by-line food bids (due June 8, 2026) that specify approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits, delivery Monday through Friday, domestic sourcing preferences, and whole-grain and low-sodium emphasis. The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in school districts and county government, with response deadlines spanning mid-2026 through early 2025.
