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 is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement with minimal recent activity aligned to its nominal product scope. The recent opportunities record shows no solicitations specifically for sage, whether GMO or non-GMO, and the code does not match the work actually being bought under the postings present in the dataset.

The code shows no relevant recent state and local contract opportunities. The sourced records document fresh-produce and food-service solicitations from school districts and public agencies across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida—but none of these RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs name sage or herbal ingredients as line items or request non-GMO certification for sage products. The procurement activity captured spans institutional food service for school nutrition programs, with vendors supplying produce baskets comprising apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, eggs, and prepared foods—categories that do not overlap with specialty herb procurement. School districts and state agencies issuing these solicitations (including Early County Board of Education, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Bulloch County School District, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System serving a multi-district cooperative) focus purchasing budgets on high-volume commodity produce and meal-service staples rather than specialty herbs or organic-certification differentials.
