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 fresh produce inputs for state and local food-service operations, including parks and recreation concessions, institutional healthcare dining, school nutrition programs, and state agency food procurement. The recent opportunities under this code show state and local governments sourcing fresh vegetables and fruits as components of broader food-service contracts rather than as line-item specialty ingredients; the code sits within general produce procurement streams where jurisdictions solicit qualified vendors to supply mixed fresh produce according to operational and regulatory requirements. Issuing bodies span county parks and recreation departments (Collier County), regional healthcare coalitions, state procurement offices, and school district food-service programs. When a school district like Early County Board of Education bids produce items, vegetables and fruits appear alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies as part of comprehensive National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program sourcing.

Recent opportunities show activity across three states. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits delivered to three schools Monday through Friday, with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend up to three months or renew for additional one-year terms. Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025, seeking vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options across concession facilities, with a three-year contract term and two one-year renewal options; a 10-point local-vendor preference applies to vendors meeting Collier or Lee County residency and business-address criteria. Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period covering fresh fruits and vegetables according to operational needs. The State of Georgia posted a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026, with full scope contained in attached documentation.
