UNSPSC 50585414: Non GMO ancho peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO ancho 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 50585414 Non GMO ancho peppers is a Commodity code that describes fresh specialty peppers purchased as ingredients or meal components by state and local food service operations. State and local governments buy this commodity through school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare facilities, and state purchasing offices that supply cafeterias, concessions, institutional kitchens, and food service programs. The work involves sourcing, delivering, and maintaining compliance with food safety standards, freshness guarantees, and operational timing — typically as part of larger produce or food-supply contracts rather than as standalone pepper purchases. Issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education), county government procurement offices (Collier County), state agencies (State of Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition).

Recent activity spans multiple states and procurement contexts. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026, encompassing approximately 300 food items including vegetables; the contract period runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. The State of Georgia posted a statewide food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. Marion Health Care Coalition (Marion County) solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 period, requiring quality standards, delivery timelines, and seasonal pricing adjustments. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park and Sun N Fun Water Park due March 6, 2025, seeking vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues; the solicitation applies a 10-point local-vendor preference for vendors meeting Collier or Lee County permanent business address and employee residency criteria.
