UNSPSC 50583012: Non GMO santo serrated leaved

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO santo serrated leaved. 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 50583012 Non GMO santo serrated leaved, a Commodity code, does not map to active state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code nominally describes a specific produce item, but the recent solicitations tagged under it span general food-service provisioning (park concessions, healthcare facilities, state institutional food programs, and school nutrition) with no evidence that santo serrated leaved—GMO status or otherwise—is a line item or procurement focus in any of these opportunities. The source shows a mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual scope of work being solicited.

Recent state and local activity under this code reflects broad food and beverage procurement across multiple issuing-body types: Collier County (Florida) is seeking a food-service operator for park concessions via an Invitation to Negotiate; Marion Health Care Coalition is soliciting produce vendors; the State of Georgia is requesting bids on food, supplies, and kitchen products; and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) is conducting a line-by-line food bid for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026. The Early County opportunity, due June 8, 2026, specifies 300+ food items (meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments), approximately 60 non-food and paper supplies, bread products meeting USDA 2024 Final Rule whole-grain specifications, and multiple fluid-milk varieties delivered Monday through Friday to three schools. Activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with the state-level Georgia procurement and school-district acquisitions dominating the recent record. No opportunities in the source clearly identify santo serrated leaved or non-GMO produce items as a distinct procurement requirement, suggesting the code either sits dormant for state and local purposes or is misapplied to broader commodity categories.
