UNSPSC 50584017: Non GMO pepicha

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO pepicha. 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 50584017 Non GMO pepicha, a Commodity code, shows no recent relevant activity aligned with the code's scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span food service procurement, but they focus on institutional fresh produce, eggs, and grocery items for school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, and general food supply — not specifically on pepicha or other specialized commodities that would map directly to the code's intended classification.

School districts and county school boards across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri are actively procuring fresh produce through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs with response dates between late February and June 2026. Representative solicitations include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) seeking fresh produce for child nutrition via RFP 2026-048 with a May 7, 2026 deadline; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) soliciting specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program via RFP 26039RFPDST with a March 11, 2026 deadline; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas with a March 4, 2026 deadline and estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. Buyers emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, domestic sourcing preferences, quality standards, and delivery reliability to multiple school sites. The code itself does not appear to be the intended classification for these opportunities, and pepicha procurement does not surface in the recent solicitation activity provided.
