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, Commodity tier, has generated minimal recent state and local activity. The code's nominal scope specifies a single agricultural commodity, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations actually naming peanuts, non-GMO peanuts, or Virginia peanuts. Instead, the records show school district and state agency procurement for broad fresh produce, fresh fruit and vegetable programs, grocery items, and child nutrition services—categories that encompass apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, citrus, dairy, eggs, and other staples, but do not highlight peanuts as a line item or focus area. The solicitations are dominated by school nutrition programs (Early County Schools in Georgia, Bulloch County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Muscogee County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Schools in Georgia, Glynn County Schools in Georgia, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, Austin Independent School District in Texas, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia) alongside state agency food and produce procurement (State of Georgia IFB Fresh Produce and State of Georgia Food Supplies solicitation) and a regional transit or institutional entity (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program).

Activity concentrates in Georgia school districts and state agencies (Early County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and the State of Georgia), with significant activity also in Texas (Northside Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District) and secondary activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) and Florida (Hillsborough County). Recent solicitations use standard formats—RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs—with response deadlines spanning March through June 2026. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's RFQ for line-by-line food bids with a due date of June 8, 2026, encompassing 300+ food items including meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains; and the State of Georgia's IFB Fresh Produce (#4 2027-2026) due May 27, 2026. However, the lack of peanut-specific procurement within this block suggests the code as currently tagged does not reflect material recent demand in state and local procurement, or the state and local market for non-GMO Virginia peanuts is sourced through broader commodity or food-service aggregation channels not explicitly tagged to this code.
