UNSPSC 50582713: Non GMO soup celery d'amsterdam

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO soup celery d'amsterdam. 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 50582713 Non GMO soup celery d'amsterdam is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific celery variety—appears misaligned with the actual work state and local governments are procuring under tagged opportunities. The most recent solicitations posted under or near this code classify their scope as broad food-service categories (fresh produce, grocery items, child nutrition supplies) rather than specialty vegetable line items, indicating either a tagging artifact or a code seldom used in practice for institutional buying.

The recent opportunities block contains sixteen active procurements across school districts, county systems, and state agencies in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, but none target celery specifically or reference non-GMO produce as a line-item criterion. Instead, school nutrition programs and institutional food services are soliciting comprehensive fresh-produce contracts covering dozens of fruits and vegetables (apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers) with standard USDA compliance and Buy American provisions. Early County Schools (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), and multiple Georgia county boards of education are seeking multiple-item annual contracts with delivery requirements, insurance documentation, and food-safety certifications—but produce selection is determined through detailed bid specifications, not pre-coded commodity designations. The code does not appear to be a practical vehicle for business development in state and local food procurement at this time.
