UNSPSC 50585205: Non GMO valencia peanuts

The variety of Non GMO peanuts known as Non GMO valencia peanuts. 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 50585205 Non GMO valencia peanuts is a Commodity code covering specialty peanut products procured by state and local food service operations. Recent solicitations tagged to this code show state and local agencies buying fresh produce, packaged food items, and ingredients for institutional food service — school lunch programs, regional parks, and health care coalition dining operations. The code appears to capture broader fresh-produce and food-commodity procurement rather than valencia peanuts specifically; the recent opportunities reflect purchase of general food supplies, produce, and ingredients where peanut products may be one line item among dozens. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (particularly school lunch programs under USDA National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements), county parks and recreation departments, county procurement services divisions, state agriculture departments, and regional health care coalitions.

Recent activity spans Georgia and Florida. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026 covering approximately 300+ food items including meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous products for a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract period with options to extend; the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 due June 22, 2026. In Florida, Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 due March 6, 2025 for food and beverage services at North Collier Regional Park and the Sun N Fun Water Park; Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-vendor proposal solicitation on August 7, 2026 due August 21, 2026. School districts and regional food service operations dominate the activity, with institutional dining and concession management the primary buying drivers. Local-vendor preferences and minority/woman business enterprise evaluation criteria appear consistently across recent opportunities.
