UNSPSC 50584021: Non GMO sage

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO sage. 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 50584021 Non GMO sage, a Commodity code, is rarely represented in recent state and local solicitations. The code's nominal scope — non-GMO culinary sage — does not align with the food-service and produce procurement activity that has appeared under this tag. Recent opportunities show state and local governments buying general food-service concessions, fresh produce, and bulk food items for schools, healthcare facilities, and parks; none of the solicitations explicitly reference sage or herbs as a line item. The issuing bodies include county recreation departments, school districts, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions, but the opportunities are too broad and disconnected from the code's specific commodity name to suggest meaningful demand for non-GMO sage as a distinct procurement category.

Activity appears scattered across Georgia, Florida, and Marion County without concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners is soliciting food services for North Collier Regional Park via Invitation to Negotiate with a March 6, 2025 due date (now past); the Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026; the State of Georgia issued a food-supplies bid due June 22, 2026; and the Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026. The code shows no recent activity specifically targeting herbs, culinary ingredients, or non-GMO specialty items, suggesting either misclassification of opportunities or minimal procurement demand under this commodity code at the state and local level right now.
