UNSPSC 50583512: Non GMO sugarhat endives

The variety of Non GMO endives known as Non GMO sugarhat 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 50583512 Non GMO sugarhat endives, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct recent activity in state and local procurement, with no solicitations specifically requesting this product line appearing in the dataset. The code nominally addresses a single vegetable variety, yet state and local school nutrition and food service procurement under related fresh-produce codes reflects broad institutional sourcing of mixed fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialized produce items rather than single-variety procurement.

Recent activity across fresh-produce procurement demonstrates that school districts, county systems, and state nutrition programs acquire produce through consolidated competitive solicitations spanning dozens of line items covering apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and specialty items in bulk quantities. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Bulloch County School District (Georgia) all posted RFPs or IFBs in March through May 2026. Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri show the heaviest concentration of recent solicitations, reflecting a regional clustering of school nutrition procurement activity. Representative opportunities include Northside ISD's RFP 2026-048 (due May 7, 2026) for fresh produce supporting child nutrition across 127 campuses with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance, Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ items across the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, and Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million. The code itself does not align with current procurement patterns; vendors pursuing this space should track broad fresh-produce family codes and mixed-commodity school nutrition solicitations rather than single-variety commodity opportunities.
