UNSPSC 50583510: Non GMO rossa di verona endives

The variety of Non GMO endives known as Non GMO rossa di verona 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 50583510 Non GMO rossa di verona endives is a Commodity code. The code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code are overwhelmingly for broad fresh produce procurement supporting school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, and institutional food service operations—not endives specifically, whether non-GMO or rossa di verona varieties. School districts, state agencies, and regional purchasing cooperatives are issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for dozens of produce line items (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, potatoes, eggs, and prepared produce) but none of the recent opportunities name endives as a required or preferred item. The code's nominal specification does not align with what state and local procurement offices are actually buying in volume under this taxonomy marker.

School districts dominate issuing activity, including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (response deadline May 7, 2026), Early County Board of Education (Georgia) seeking line-by-line food bids (June 8, 2026), and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools BID 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items (April 23, 2026). Larger multi-district cooperative procurements are also active: Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covers 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million for fresh produce and eggs (March 4, 2026 response date). The State of Georgia itself has posted IFB #4 2027-2026 for fresh produce (May 27, 2026 response date) and a broader food supplies solicitation (June 22, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with school nutrition programs in Hillsborough County (Tampa), McAllen, and Austin also actively soliciting. Pursue opportunities under broader fresh-produce codes if your firm supplies institutional volumes of mainstream items; this specific commodity code does not reflect current state and local demand.
