UNSPSC 50583204: Non GMO wintercress

The variety of Non GMO cresses known as Non GMO wintercress. 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 50583204 Non GMO wintercress is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent opportunities that match the nominal product scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code address fresh produce procurement broadly—apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, berries, citrus, onions, potatoes, and eggs—for school nutrition programs across multiple states. None of these solicitations specifically name wintercress, non-GMO or otherwise, as a line item or product requirement. The code appears to describe a narrow specialty vegetable, yet the procurement activity directed to it reflects institutional food service procurement at scale, where wintercress does not register as a commodity being actively solicited by state or local buyers.

School districts and county boards of education dominate recent activity under this code, with solicitations from Georgia (Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, Early County, Douglas County), Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). The state of Georgia accounts for the highest concentration of recent solicitations, with at least seven school district or county board RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs posted between mid-February and mid-May 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 (PE55045NONST2027000000006) spanning 300+ food items and 60 non-food products for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs; Northside Independent School District's fresh produce RFP due May 7, 2026 (RFP2026048) requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant produce delivered five days per week to all district campuses; and Hillsborough County Public Schools' FFVP fresh fruit and vegetable procurement (26039RFPDST) targeting approximately 18 elementary schools with pre-cut, specialty produce in 50-unit cases. Buyers consistently demand HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, insurance minimums, traceability documentation, and firm pricing for full contract terms, often with annual price redetermination tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indexes or Consumer Price Index data. The code shows active procurement volume but no documented demand for wintercress as a distinct line item.
