UNSPSC 50582911: Non GMO wallone freisee weschelkopf chicory

The variety of Non GMO chicory known as Non GMO wallone freisee weschelkopf 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 50582911 Non-GMO Wallone Freisee Weschelkopf Chicory, a Commodity code, does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The source documents sixteen school nutrition and food service solicitations issued between February and June 2026, none of which specifically reference chicory, non-GMO varieties, or the specialty produce variants named in the code. Instead, the opportunities consistently solicit institutional food purchases—fresh produce, dairy, eggs, meats, grains, and prepared foods—for school nutrition programs, school breakfast and lunch initiatives, and federally funded child nutrition services across multiple states.

The solicitations originate from school districts, county boards of education, and cooperative purchasing vehicles spanning Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with response due June 8, 2026; Northside Independent School District (Texas) soliciting fresh produce for child nutrition via RFP 2026-048 with deadline May 7, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) issuing RFP for fresh fruit and vegetable program delivery to 18 elementary schools under USDA grant funding with deadline March 11, 2026; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) procuring fresh produce and eggs for a cooperative of 30 school districts through RFP SN 26-004 with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, deadline March 4, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific commodity named.
