UNSPSC 50582807: Non GMO white king chard

The variety of Non GMO chard known as Non GMO white king chard. 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 50582807 Non GMO white king chard is a Commodity code that covers fresh produce items, particularly leafy greens and specialty vegetables, sold to state and local food service operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and state agencies for use in National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, park concessions, healthcare facility meals, and institutional dining. The work is straightforward commodity supply — vendors respond to line-by-line food bids or produce RFQs with pricing on specific vegetable items, volumes, and delivery schedules. Recent solicitations emphasize compliance with food safety regulations, USDA sourcing preferences where applicable, domestic sourcing where mandated, whole-grain and low-additive formulations, temperature-controlled delivery, and stock rotation by sell-by date. Vendors typically must carry general liability insurance, maintain HACCP plans, verify debarment status for awards above specified thresholds, and comply with E-Verify requirements.

Recent activity spans three states. Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a line-by-line food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits across three schools under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The State of Georgia posted a statewide bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). Marion Health Care Coalition in an unnamed state solicited produce proposals (due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery under a 2026-2027 contract. Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN, due March 6, 2025) for food services at North Collier Regional Park, which includes concession-facility operations. School districts and county parks departments appear as repeat buyers in recent postings; contract terms typically run one year with renewal options, and local-vendor preferences or set-asides for woman- or minority-owned enterprises are common evaluation factors.
