UNSPSC 50585003: Non GMO clemson spineless okra

The variety of Non GMO okra known as Non GMO clemson spineless okra. 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 50585003 Non GMO clemson spineless okra (Commodity) represents a single produce item within the broader fresh vegetable and fruit procurement stream that state and local governments buy for food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations tag the code in contexts spanning county parks concession operations, healthcare coalition food service, state-level food supply procurement, and school district National School Lunch Program contracting. The actual buying activity encompasses fresh produce delivery to multiple venues — water parks, athletic facilities, health-care operations, and school kitchens — with vendors required to meet food safety standards, delivery schedules, temperature controls, and freshness guarantees. The code sits within a larger ecosystem where okra and similar vegetables are sourced as line items in comprehensive food-procurement bids rather than as standalone purchases; school districts, counties, and state purchasing offices typically solicit produce as part of bundled food-service RFPs, RFQs, or ITNs that include meats, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies alongside fresh vegetables.

Recent opportunities show activity across multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools. The State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division (Florida) solicited food-service proposals via Invitation to Negotiate due March 6, 2025 for North Collier Regional Park concessions, emphasizing menu variety and food-safety compliance. Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period, specifying delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables according to operational needs. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia and Florida), though the scope of school district and state-level procurement suggests the code may see activity in other states as well.
