UNSPSC 50582707: Non GMO giant white celery

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO giant white 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 50582707 Non GMO giant white celery is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local government food-service operations, including school districts, county parks departments, and regional health coalitions. State and local buyers under this code solicit fresh vegetables and fruits as components of larger food-service contracts, typically bundled with other produce, proteins, dairy, and non-food supplies. The work involves providing and delivering produce items meeting food-safety standards, seasonal availability, quality specifications, and delivery-schedule requirements. Issuing bodies span county government (Parks and Recreation divisions), school districts, health-care coalitions, and state agencies; school districts appear frequently as repeat solicitors under broader food-service procurement.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, with posted opportunities from Georgia (state-level food supplies bid in May 2026), Florida (Collier County parks concessions ITN posted October 2026, due March 2025), Marion Health Care Coalition (August 2026), and Georgia (Early County Board of Education school lunch program line-item bid posted May 2026, due June 2026). The Early County Schools RFQ, due June 8, 2026, exemplifies the category — approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits, with domestic sourcing preferences and low-sodium formulations emphasized for the National School Lunch Program. The Collier County ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services (due March 6, 2025) and Marion Health Care Coalition produce-vendor RFQ (due August 21, 2026) represent parallel opportunities focused on fresh-produce provision and delivery. School districts and regional health organizations dominate the recent-opportunity set, though county-level parks departments also solicit under this code.
