UNSPSC 50585413: Non GMO anaheim peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO anaheim peppers. 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 50585413 Non GMO anaheim peppers, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce items that state and local governments procure for institutional food services, park concessions, and school meal programs. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers under this code source vegetables for operational use rather than retail resale — typical buyers include county parks departments, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices. The scope encompasses fresh produce delivery with requirements for food safety compliance, quality standards, product freshness guarantees, and adherence to domestic sourcing and nutritional preferences where specified. Issuing bodies span county governments (Collier County), school districts (Early County Board of Education), state departments (Georgia), and healthcare-affiliated organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition).

Recent activity appears concentrated in the South and Southeast. Collier County (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a March 6, 2025 response date, emphasizing menu variety and local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points for vendors meeting permanent business address and employee residency criteria in Collier or Lee County.
