UNSPSC 50584013: Non GMO marjoram

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO marjoram. 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 50584013 Non GMO marjoram, a Commodity code, captures fresh produce supply to state and local institutional buyers — principally school districts, county parks and recreation departments, and healthcare coalitions. The code reflects demand for fresh vegetables and fruits meeting food-service and institutional dietary needs, often with specific quality standards around freshness, food safety compliance, and product specifications. State and local procurement under this code targets routine supply agreements with vendors who can meet delivery schedules, volume commitments, and regulatory compliance (HACCP plans, food safety certifications, traceability requirements). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by county governments and healthcare-affiliated organizations, all seeking produce for institutional food service operations.

Recent opportunities show activity across the Southeast and mid-Atlantic. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Marion Health Care Coalition (location not specified in summary) solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026, for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery during the 2026-2027 period. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026, for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, requiring diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues; while this opportunity spans broader food service, produce supply is a component of the concession operations. The State of Georgia posted a general food and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. School districts and county parks departments represent the steadiest issuing bodies under this code, typically requiring domestic sourcing, low-sodium or whole-grain specifications, and monthly or regular delivery with documented temperature control and stock rotation.
