UNSPSC 50583201: Non GMO land cress

The variety of Non GMO cresses known as Non GMO land cress. 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 50583201 Non GMO land cress is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, though the recent opportunities do not isolate land cress as a line item or feature it as a distinct procurement focus. Instead, the code appears in the context of broader produce and food-service solicitations where fresh vegetables are purchased as part of larger food-supply contracts. State and local governments buying under this code range across county parks departments, school districts, health care coalitions, and state procurement offices. The work involves sourcing fresh vegetables to specification, meeting food-safety and quality standards, managing delivery schedules, and maintaining freshness guarantees for operational and meal-service needs. Vendors must typically comply with health regulations, provide liability insurance, and in some cases demonstrate HACCP compliance and recall procedures.

Recent activity is geographically dispersed across Florida, Georgia, and the Southeast. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 (due March 6, 2025) for food services including fresh produce at North Collier Regional Park, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Marion Health Care Coalition issued a produce proposal solicitation on August 7, 2026 (due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery during the 2026–2027 contract period. The State of Georgia requested bids on food supplies and other kitchen products on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026), and the Early County Board of Education posted line-by-line food bids on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; all prices must include packing and transportation with no separate fuel charges.
