UNSPSC 50585426: Non GMO long hot peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO long hot 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 50585426 Non GMO long hot peppers (Commodity) represents fresh produce supplied to state and local food-service operations, including school districts, county parks, healthcare facilities, and state procurement programs. The recent opportunities show state and local buyers purchasing produce as components of broader food-service contracts—school lunch programs, regional park concessions, healthcare facility dining, and state kitchen operations—rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The code captures the intersection of agricultural supply and institutional food service where produce quality, food-safety compliance, seasonal availability, and delivery reliability drive vendor selection.

State and local issuing bodies across this code include county boards of commissioners (parks and recreation), independent school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state departments of administrative services. Early County Board of Education posted a comprehensive food-bid solicitation (PE55045NONST2027000000006, IFB, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program; the Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025) for North Collier Regional Park food services requiring diverse menu options including fresh produce; Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals (SP0040000017708, due August 21, 2026) for the 2026-2027 contract period; and the State of Georgia requested bids on food and kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026). Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida (Collier County), and Marion County (location unspecified in the source), with school districts and county governments appearing as primary repeat buyers in the available opportunities.
