UNSPSC 50582905: Non GMO ione limnos chicory

The variety of Non GMO chicory known as Non GMO Non GMO ione limnos chicory. 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 50582905 Non GMO ione limnos chicory (Commodity) describes a specialized agricultural product that shows minimal recent relevance to state and local government procurement activity. The three concrete opportunities posted under this code over the past five months span food service and produce procurement across different issuing bodies, but none explicitly reference Non GMO ione limnos chicory or specialty chicory products in their scopes. Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park covering diverse food and beverage options across concession facilities and park venues; Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals for fresh fruits and vegetables in the 2026-2027 period; and Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line food bids supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools. While these opportunities involve food procurement broadly, none align with the narrow commodity definition implied by the code title.

Recent activity under the code spans three states (Florida, an unspecified state for MHCC, and Georgia) and includes county parks departments, health-care coalitions, and school districts as issuing bodies. The Early County Board of Education bid (due June 8, 2026) represents the most structured food procurement on record, covering 300+ line-item food products with firm pricing, domestic sourcing preferences, and USDA compliance requirements; Collier County's ITN (due March 6, 2025, with local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points) emphasizes vendor qualifications and food safety; and Marion Health Care Coalition's RFQ (due August 21, 2026) requests fresh-produce delivery. No recent solicitations explicitly target chicory, Non-GMO certification, or products within this commodity's narrow scope, suggesting the code may be mistagged for food procurements or sees no active demand for this specific product line in state and local markets.
