UNSPSC 50582908: Non GMO sanda chicory

The variety of Non GMO chicory known as Non GMO sanda 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 50582908 Non GMO sanda chicory, a Commodity code, represents a narrow ingredient category that does not appear prominently in recent state and local procurement activity. State and local governments purchase produce and food items through this taxonomy, but the specific designation of non-GMO sanda chicory does not map to documented recent solicitations. The recent opportunities under related produce and food-service codes show that counties, school districts, and health-care coalitions buy fresh vegetables, produce, and food items as part of broader food-service and nutrition programs, typically bundled into larger commodity buys rather than solicited as individual ingredient lines. When produce is solicited, it is usually embedded within multi-item food bids that enumerate dozens or hundreds of line items across fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and processed foods.

Recent activity shows issuing bodies including Collier County (North Collier Regional Park food concessions via Invitation to Negotiate, ITN, posted October 8, 2026 with response due March 6, 2025), Marion Health Care Coalition (produce proposals due August 21, 2026), the State of Georgia (food and kitchen products bids due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education, Georgia (line-by-line food bids for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, due June 8, 2026). The Early County opportunity explicitly lists vegetables and fruits as line items within a broader 300+ item food catalog, but no solicitation names non-GMO sanda chicory specifically. Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Florida in the records provided. This code shows little relevant recent activity, and opportunities that touch produce sourcing do not isolate or emphasize non-GMO sanda chicory as a discretionary procurement line.
