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 is a Commodity code that maps to state and local government procurement of fresh produce and food items, though the recent opportunities show broader food-service sourcing activity than the code name alone suggests. State and local buyers under this code include county recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, state agencies, and school districts. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Marion Health Care Coalition, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education have all posted solicitations recently. The work being solicited ranges from concession-stand food services at regional parks to fresh-produce delivery, bulk food and kitchen supplies, and line-item school lunch program procurement. School districts dominate the activity, with Early County Board of Education's comprehensive National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program bid covering 300+ food items (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments), 60+ non-food and paper supplies, whole-grain bread meeting USDA 2024 specifications, and fluid milk with temperature and stock-rotation requirements. Food safety, domestic sourcing, and compliance with nutrition standards feature prominently across all opportunities.

Recent solicitations span Georgia, Florida, and appear concentrated in the Southeast. The Early County Board of Education issued an IFB for food and non-food supplies with a response deadline of June 8, 2026. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce solicitation due August 21, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a March 6, 2025 due date and local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points for Collier or Lee County addresses and employees. The State of Georgia posted a bid solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. School district procurement emphasizes HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, E-Verify verification, and firm pricing with escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks. Contract terms typically run one year with renewal or extension options.
