UNSPSC 50585416: Non GMO cascabel peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO cascabel 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 50585416 Non GMO cascabel peppers, a Commodity code, covers specialty fresh produce items purchased by state and local food service operations, schools, healthcare facilities, and parks departments. State and local governments procure cascabel peppers and similar fresh vegetables through food-service contracts that typically bundle multiple produce items alongside broader food and supply procurement. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county parks departments, school districts, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. Cascabel peppers appear in solicitations as line items within larger fresh-produce or food-supplies scopes rather than as standalone specialty purchases, reflecting their role as components of diverse menu offerings and institutional meal planning.

Recent activity shows solicitations from Collier County (Florida), Marion Health Care Coalition (Oregon), the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) between May and October 2026. Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park food services (due March 6, 2025) emphasizes menu variety and diverse food options across multiple venues, with 10 evaluation points for local-vendor preference; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) specifies approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fresh produce for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with domestic sourcing preferences and requirements for whole-grain and low-sodium formulations. Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposals (due August 21, 2026) and the State of Georgia's food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026) represent additional procurement activity. The code shows activity concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon) as of mid-2026, with school districts and county agencies representing the primary issuing bodies.
