UNSPSC 50585429: Non GMO peperoncini peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO peperoncini 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 50585429 Non GMO peperoncini peppers is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty produce items, particularly peppers and similar fresh vegetables, sourced under fresh-food procurement frameworks by state and local government food-service operations. Recent solicitations show the code tagged to broader food-service and produce-procurement opportunities rather than to peperoncini peppers specifically — notably, Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid covering 300+ items including vegetables and fruits, and Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposals for fresh fruits and vegetables. The issuing bodies are mixed: school districts (Early County Board of Education), county governments and parks departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level procurement (State of Georgia for food, supplies, and kitchen products). These jurisdictions source produce as part of broader food-service contracts tied to school nutrition programs, regional park concessions, institutional dining, and healthcare operations.

Activity under the code spans Georgia, Florida (Marion County and Collier County), and broader state-level procurement. The most recent opportunity is Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid, due June 8, 2026, which covers approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with deliveries Monday through Friday and emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations. Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park Food Services, due March 6, 2025, requires diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues and includes a 10-point local-vendor preference for vendors meeting Collier or Lee County business address and employee residency criteria. Marion Health Care Coalition's produce RFQ, due August 21, 2026, seeks fresh fruits and vegetables with quality standards and delivery timelines specified in contract documents.
