UNSPSC 50585710: Non GMO red algae

The variety of Non GMO sea vegetables known as Non GMO red algae. 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 50585710 Non GMO red algae is a Commodity code. State and local governments show no meaningful recent procurement activity under this code. The sixteen most-recent opportunities posted in the code span May 2026 through February 2026 and cover fresh produce, dairy, grains, meats, eggs, beverages, and kitchen supplies for school nutrition programs and state food service — none reference non-GMO red algae or seaweed products of any kind. The opportunities are tagged to this code in the source data but are entirely unrelated to its stated scope. School districts and state education agencies dominate the purchasing landscape, with recent solicitations from Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis, Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). The code shows activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Florida and Missouri.

The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual procurement activity suggests either a systematic mis-tagging issue in state and local procurement platforms or that red algae is occasionally purchased under broader food or nutritional supplement categories without visibility in this taxonomy tier. No viable pipeline exists under this code for vendors supplying non-GMO red algae or marine algae products to state and local buyers. Vendors targeting school nutrition and food service should monitor higher-tier family or class codes covering produce, nutritional supplements, or specialty food ingredients rather than pursuing opportunities posted under this commodity code.
