UNSPSC 50585714: Non GMO spirulina

The variety of Non GMO sea vegetables known as Non GMO spirulina. 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 50585714 Non GMO spirulina is a Commodity code representing specialty food ingredients and supplements used in institutional food service operations. The code sees limited direct solicitation activity under its nominal name; instead, state and local procurement offices tag broader food-service and produce opportunities with this code despite the opportunities themselves addressing conventional commodity food items (fresh produce, school lunch program staples, park concession foods) rather than spirulina-specific sourcing. The mismatch suggests the code may function as a catch-all tag for nutritional or specialty dietary items within institutional food-service frameworks, though recent activity does not isolate spirulina procurement as a distinct line item.

Recent opportunities span county parks and recreation divisions, school districts, state procurement offices, and health-care coalitions. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025, emphasizing menu variety and food-safety compliance across park concessions and tournament facilities. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with preference for domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. The State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026); the Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals on August 7, 2026 (due August 21, 2026). Activity appears scattered across Georgia, Florida, and other states, with no repeat solicitors evident in the recent block. The code shows little sustained or specialized activity in spirulina procurement; issuers appear to use it as a secondary tag for broader food-service categories.
