UNSPSC 50584009: Non GMO dill

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO dill. 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 50584009 Non GMO dill, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce — specifically herbs and vegetables purchased for food service operations — that state and local governments source through concession vendors, healthcare facilities, school districts, and state procurement offices. State and local buyers under this code are primarily school districts running child nutrition programs under USDA reimbursement, county parks and recreation departments contracting food-service concessionaires, healthcare coalitions supplying institutional cafeterias, and state-level food procurement for institutional operations. The work involves sourcing fresh, perishable produce to specification — meeting quality standards, delivery schedules, USDA nutrition requirements (including whole-grain and low-sodium preferences where applicable), food-safety compliance, and seasonal pricing adjustments. School districts dominate the activity, procuring produce as part of comprehensive food and non-food supply contracts for breakfast and lunch programs; counties and healthcare entities also solicit produce independently or bundled with broader food-service categories.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Florida, and at least one healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition, location not specified in the source). The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering vegetables and fruits among 300+ food items for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) due March 6, 2025 for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park, requiring vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options including fresh produce at multiple venues during regular operations and peak tournament seasons. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period, specifying delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables according to operational needs and seasonal availability. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026, with scope and produce details contained in the full solicitation document.
