UNSPSC 50583101: Non GMO chinese chives

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO chives. 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 50583101 Non GMO Chinese Chives (Commodity) shows minimal relevant activity in recent state and local procurement. While the code nominally describes a single produce item—non-GMO Chinese chives—the source block of recent opportunities contains no solicitations specifically for that commodity or close variants. The opportunities posted from February through June 2026 span broad fresh produce procurement across multiple produce categories by school nutrition programs, school districts, and state education agencies, but none explicitly target Chinese chives or reference non-GMO certification as a distinguishing requirement.

The recent solicitations instead capture generalized fresh fruit and vegetable procurement across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri school systems and state agencies—Early County Schools (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and multiple Georgia county school districts and the State of Georgia itself. These opportunities solicit broad produce lines (apples, bananas, peppers, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, eggs, and dozens of standard commodity items) through IFB, RFP, and ITB notices with response dates clustering in late March through May 2026. The code as tagged to these opportunities does not align with the commodity's nominal scope, indicating either a metadata mismatch in the source system or that non-GMO Chinese chives are not a line-item demand in current state and local school nutrition or institutional food procurement. Firms pursuing this UNSPSC code should verify whether it reflects actual procurement demand or represents dormant taxonomy; broader fresh produce codes may better capture the institutional vegetable sourcing activity visible in the source record.
