UNSPSC 50583507: Non GMO palla rossa zorzi precoce endives

The variety of Non GMO endives known as Non GMO palla rossa zorzi precoce endives. 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 50583507 Non GMO palla rossa zorzi precoce endives is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific variety of endive, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not target this product. Instead, the code appears in broad food-procurement notices covering mixed-produce sourcing, general food-service items, and kitchen products. The issuing bodies span county parks and recreation divisions, health care coalitions, state agriculture or procurement offices, and school districts. Work being solicited includes concession-food operations at regional parks, fresh-produce delivery for health care facilities, and line-item food and non-food bidding for school nutrition programs.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Florida. The State of Georgia posted a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products in May 2026. Collier County, Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners) solicited food-service vendors via Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park with a March 6, 2025 response date and a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points.
