UNSPSC 50585007: Non GMO star of david heirloom okra

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO star of david heirloom 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 50585007 Non GMO star of david heirloom okra is a Commodity code that sits beneath the broader produce and fresh-vegetable procurement activity that state and local governments conduct, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations specifically for this variety. The code appears to describe a specialized heirloom vegetable product, but the recent state and local records tagged under it encompass broader food-service contracting—concession operations, produce delivery, and school lunch program sourcing—rather than procurement of this particular okra variety. School districts, county recreation authorities, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices are the issuing bodies appearing in recent records, but none of the four opportunities in the block actually name non-GMO heirloom okra or a closely related specialized produce item as part of their scope.

The opportunities that do appear under the code span Georgia (State of Georgia's food, supplies, and kitchen products ITB, June 22, 2026 response), Early County Schools' FY27 food bid for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs (due June 8, 2026), Marion Health Care Coalition's general produce proposals for 2026–2027 (due August 21, 2026), and Collier County's North Collier Regional Park food-services ITN for water park and sports-facility concessions (due March 6, 2025—though this date appears incorrect given the October 8, 2026 post date). The mismatch between the code's stated product and the actual recent opportunities suggests either that the code is underutilized for this specific okra variety or that procurement activity for non-GMO heirloom okra is not currently flowing through these state and local channels in volume sufficient to generate tagged solicitations.
