UNSPSC 50584005: Non GMO chervil

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO chervil. 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 50584005 Non GMO chervil is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity tied to this specific herb. The solicitations tagged with this code span food service procurement across school districts and state agencies, but they overwhelmingly request broad fresh produce portfolios — apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, berries, and citrus — rather than chervil or other specialty herbs by name. Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) are among the repeat issuers soliciting fresh produce for school nutrition programs. The code appears to be applied as a catch-all taxonomy tag for produce line-item procurement rather than as a signal of demand for non-GMO chervil specifically. Bidders reviewing opportunities should treat the code as a broad fresh-produce category marker and focus on the actual line-item specifications in each RFP, RFQ, or IFB to confirm whether chervil or similar specialty greens are actually requested.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri, where school districts dominate as issuing bodies. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education RFP for food and non-food products (due June 8, 2026), the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services IFB for grocery items (due April 29, 2026), the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across Georgia (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two), and Northside Independent School District's RFP for fresh produce for child nutrition across San Antonio (due May 7, 2026). Vendor requirements consistently include HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, general liability insurance (typically $1 million to $2 million), delivery within specified windows (most commonly 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM Monday through Friday), and firm pricing for contract terms ranging from one year with renewal options up to five years total. None of the recent solicitations explicitly name chervil or specialty herbs as line items, and pursuit of this code requires careful review of actual specifications to determine fit.
