UNSPSC 50585424: Non GMO hungarian wax peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO hungarian wax 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 50585424 Non GMO hungarian wax peppers is a Commodity code that does not see significant recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific product scope. The six opportunities posted since February 2026 in the source block are tagged to this code but describe generic fresh produce solicitations for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition initiatives—not Hungarian wax peppers in particular. The code's nominal product definition does not match the work actually being solicited, which spans broad commodity groups (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, tomatoes, eggs, and seasonal fruits and vegetables) rather than a single pepper variety.

School districts and county boards of education in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida dominate recent activity under this tag, issuing RFPs and ITBs for annual produce contracts supporting National School Lunch Programs and the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Representative solicitations include the Bulloch County School District's locally-sourced produce RFP (posted April 3, 2026, due May 4, 2026) spanning 24 items within 200 miles of Bulloch County; Northside Independent School District in San Antonio's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 127 schools (posted April 14, 2026, due May 7, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools' FFVP procurement in Tampa (posted April 13, 2026, due March 11, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's multi-district cooperative RFP SN 26-004 covering 72 produce line items for 30 Georgia school districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026). Vendors pursuing institutional fresh-produce contracts should monitor Georgia, Texas, and Florida school district RFPs and ITBs directly rather than rely on this code for category-specific signal; the code's current tagging provides limited category-level guidance for Hungarian wax pepper suppliers.
