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 is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty produce procurement by state and local agencies, though the recent opportunities indexed under it reflect a broader category spanning general food service and institutional cafeteria supply. State and local governments soliciting under this code include county park systems, healthcare coalitions, state agencies, and school districts purchasing produce and food products for operational meal service. The scope of actual work being solicited ranges from fresh-produce delivery contracts serving hospitality and recreation venues to comprehensive institutional food-service supply including proteins, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and non-food items for school breakfast and lunch programs. Vendors must typically meet food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, health permits, recall procedures), maintain cold-chain integrity and temperature-controlled delivery where applicable, source domestically where feasible, and comply with procurement preferences such as local-vendor set-asides, Buy American, and certification programs (WBE/MBE status).

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing-body types. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN, due March 6, 2025) for food services at North Collier Regional Park, requiring diverse menu options, food-safety compliance, and a 10-point local-vendor preference weighted into a 100-point scoring matrix. Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) solicited produce proposals (due August 21, 2026) for the 2026-2027 contract period with seasonal pricing flexibility. The State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) released a comprehensive food-bid solicitation (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items plus non-food supplies for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance with USDA 2024 Final Rule standards, and low-sodium formulations across three schools through June 30, 2027.
