UNSPSC 50584804: Non GMO red in snow mustard

The variety of Non GMO mustard known as Non GMO red in snow 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 50584804 Non GMO red in snow mustard is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty mustard greens and related fresh produce supplied to state and local school nutrition programs, institutional food service operations, and farm-to-school initiatives. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on fresh produce procurement for child nutrition, with school districts and county boards of education as the primary buying entities. Recent solicitations show school systems sourcing fresh produce—including leafy greens, vegetables, and specialty items—as components of broader fresh-produce contracts that feed thousands of students across elementary, middle, and high school campuses. The code reflects institutional demand for USDA-compliant produce meeting food safety, domestic-sourcing, and nutritional standards, often with preference for items free of artificial additives and aligned with farm-to-school or locally-grown product initiatives.

School districts dominate recent activity under this code's broader produce family, with issuing bodies including independent school districts in Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Austin Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District), Georgia county boards of education (Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham County public schools, Douglas County cooperative procurement), and Florida school systems (Hillsborough County Public Schools). State procurement offices in Georgia have also posted fresh-produce solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Bulloch County School District's IFP issued April 3, 2026 (due May 4, 2026) for locally-grown produce including greens, lettuce, broccoli, and spinach for its Farm to School program; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 issued April 14, 2026 (due May 7, 2026) for USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable fresh produce delivered to 47 campuses across Bexar County; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 issued February 4, 2026 (due March 4, 2026) through the GEC Buying Cooperative, sourcing approximately 72 line items of produce and eggs for 30 school districts in Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. School district contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 annually, demand weekly or twice-weekly delivery Monday through Friday during school hours, require HACCP certification and food-safety compliance, enforce Buy American provisions, and evaluate bids on lowest responsive price, product quality, vendor experience, and alignment with district nutritional objectives.
