UNSPSC 50582710: Non GMO hopkins fenlander celery

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO hopkins fenlander 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 50582710 Non GMO hopkins fenlander celery, a Commodity code, nominally designates a single produce item but shows limited direct alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically naming Hopkins fenlander celery or close celery variants; instead, the posted opportunities span broader fresh produce procurement (fruits and vegetables), institutional food service (school lunch programs, park concessions, health care facility meals), and kitchen supplies. The issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), school districts (Early County Board of Education), special-purpose healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). When state and local governments buy produce under this code's neighborhood, they typically solicit it as part of larger food-service or institutional-meal contracts rather than as a single commodity line item.

Recent opportunities show activity across Florida (Collier County ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services, due March 6, 2025), Georgia (state-level food and kitchen products bid, due June 22, 2026), and Marion County (Marion Health Care Coalition produce proposals, due August 21, 2026). Early County Board of Education in Georgia posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program across three schools. The code shows no standout repeat solicitation under the specific Hopkins fenlander celery designation; procurement activity at this commodity level appears sporadic and embedded within broader institutional produce or food-service contracts where celery, when named, is typically one of many vegetable options rather than a standalone line.
