UNSPSC 50584802: Non GMO garlic mustard

The variety of Non GMO mustard known as Non GMO garlic mustard. 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 50584802 Non GMO garlic mustard is a Commodity code that does not see current state and local procurement activity aligned with its stated scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce and food items for school nutrition programs, institutional dining, and child nutrition services—a scope far broader than non-GMO garlic mustard specifically. The UNSPSC classification appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping artifact rather than a reflection of actual buying demand.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida dominate the recent posting volume, with opportunities from Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Early County Schools (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Schools (Georgia), Muscogee County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), Glynn County Schools (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County Schools (Georgia) all issuing RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs for produce procurement in the March–June 2026 window. These solicitations span food service for child nutrition programs, farm-to-school initiatives, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery, and general school lunch and breakfast supplies. The geographic clustering is heavy in the Southeast (Georgia and Florida) and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-item produce bid (IFB PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) for meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments; Northside Independent School District's fresh produce RFP (RFP2026048, due May 7, 2026) for USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant produce with five-day-per-week delivery; and Bulloch County Schools' local-produce RFP (PE55612NONST2027000000031, due May 4, 2026) for items grown within 200 miles, including watermelons, apples, strawberries, and root vegetables. Bidders across these solicitations must comply with Buy American provisions, HACCP certifications, food safety documentation, liability insurance, and E-Verify requirements, with most contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
