UNSPSC 50585417: Non GMO cayenne peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO cayenne 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 50585417 Non GMO cayenne peppers is a Commodity code that captures a narrow product line — specialty peppers and similar condiment ingredients — but the recent state and local opportunities show almost no activity directly aligned with it. Instead, the code appears in a single high-level procurement from the State of Georgia (PE55645NONST2026000000009, posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026) tagged as "Food, Supplies, and Other Kitchen Products" with no itemized detail about what specific products are being sought. The absence of dedicated cayenne pepper solicitations in the most recent state and local pipeline suggests minimal standalone demand for this commodity at the jurisdiction level; when peppers and spices enter school nutrition and institutional food service procurement, they typically appear as subordinate line items within broader grocery or food service contracts rather than as discrete purchasing events.

The overwhelming pattern in recent state and local food procurement centers on fresh produce, dairy, bread, and complete grocery baskets for school districts and state agencies — notably at Early County Schools (IFB, due June 8, 2026), Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa (FFVP contract, due March 11, 2026), Bulloch County Schools (IFP, due May 4, 2026), Rockwood School District in Missouri (IFB, due April 29, 2026), Liberty County Schools in Georgia (IFB, due April 29, 2026), Muscogee County Schools (ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), Glynn County Schools (IFB 27-02, due April 14, 2026), McAllen ISD in Texas (RFP 2026-1029, due March 6, 2026), Austin ISD (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026), and Douglas County Schools via the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). Georgia school districts, Texas independent school districts, and Florida and Missouri school systems represent the most active jurisdictions. This code shows minimal recent relevance to state and local procurement activity.
