UNSPSC 50585711: Non GMO sea kale

The variety of Non GMO sea vegetables known as Non GMO sea kale. 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 50585711 Non GMO sea kale is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce supply to state and local food service operations, including school nutrition programs, county park concessions, healthcare facilities, and state institutional kitchens. Recent state and local solicitations show the code reflecting broader produce procurement activity — the Marion Health Care Coalition sought fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 period, and the Early County Board of Education's school lunch program bid called for approximately 300 food items spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains. Issuing bodies include county park authorities, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices. The mix spans independent school districts (Early County Board of Education), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), public health or healthcare providers (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agencies (Georgia).

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent opportunities posted from Florida (Collier County), Georgia (state procurement and Early County Schools), and unspecified location for Marion Health Care Coalition produce bid. Representative recent solicitations include Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park food services (posted October 8, 2026, proposals due March 6, 2025) and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for school breakfast and lunch programs (posted May 11, 2026, bids due June 8, 2026). The Georgia state bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products closed June 22, 2026. Early County's solicitation emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with firm pricing for 15 days post-award and price escalations limited to 3% every six months unless supported by USDA or CPI data. School districts and county agencies frequently impose Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000), and E-Verify enrollment.
