UNSPSC 50584008: Non GMO curry leaves

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO curry leaves. 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 50584008 Non GMO curry leaves is a Commodity-tier code that does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The three recent opportunities appearing under this code involve general food-service concessions, fresh produce procurement, and institutional food and supplies for schools and healthcare — none of which focus on curry leaves or specialty non-GMO ingredients as a distinct line item. The issuing bodies include a county parks department (Collier County), a healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), a state agricultural agency (Georgia), and a school district (Early County Board of Education), suggesting the code captures broad food procurement across multiple jurisdiction types rather than specialty spice or ingredient sourcing.

The geographic spread spans Florida (Collier County), Georgia (state-level and Early County), and at least one other state represented by MHCC, with activity concentrated in the Southeast. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN, responses due March 6, 2025) covering concessions and food-and-beverage operations across multiple park venues; Marion Health Care Coalition's produce-vendor request (due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables under the 2026-2027 contract term; the State of Georgia's bid for food supplies and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026); and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for school lunch and breakfast programs (due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items, non-food supplies, and specialty products including whole-grain bread and fluid milk meeting USDA specifications. The code appears misaligned with its nominal scope and offers limited visibility into actual non-GMO curry-leaf purchasing at the state and local level.
