UNSPSC 50585206: Non GMO virginia peanuts

The variety of Non GMO peanuts known as Non GMO virginia 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 50585206 Non GMO virginia peanuts is a Commodity code that describes specialized agricultural products state and local governments procure primarily through food service operations, school meal programs, and institutional dining. Recent solicitations show the code applies to fresh produce, prepared foods, and ingredient procurement rather than peanuts specifically — state and local buyers use it to tag food and agricultural commodity purchases across parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and state institutions. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code span county park systems, school district nutrition programs, state departments, and healthcare coalitions, each managing food service for public populations. Collier County's procurement for food concessions at North Collier Regional Park and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for school meal programs represent the dominant use cases, with health systems and state agencies appearing as secondary buyers.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Florida and Georgia, based on recent postings. Collier County issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a response date of March 6, 2025, requiring vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options across concession facilities and emphasizing local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Early County Board of Education released an IFB for food products to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with a bid due date of June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies with delivery to three schools and firm pricing for 15 days from award. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-focused request with proposals due August 21, 2026, and the State of Georgia issued a statewide food and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. The code shows moderate recent activity concentrated in school districts and park recreation operations, with geographic spread across Florida and Georgia.
