UNSPSC 50585902: Non GMO garden sorrel

The variety of Non GMO sorrel known as Non GMO garden sorrel. 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 50585902 Non GMO garden sorrel, a Commodity code, captures fresh produce procurement by state and local government food-service operations, including school districts, parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and state agencies. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers purchasing fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty produce items to support school meal programs, public park concessions, healthcare facility food services, and state food procurement. The issuing bodies span county parks departments (Collier County), independent school districts (Early County Board of Education), state agencies (State of Georgia), and specialized healthcare purchasing coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Vendors must meet food-safety compliance, delivery timelines, volume commitments, quality standards, and domestic-sourcing preferences where applicable; school districts emphasize whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives.

Recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line bid for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits, with bids due June 8, 2026, covering the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools with delivery Monday through Friday and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Marion Health Care Coalition's produce-vendor proposals due August 21, 2026, for the 2026-2027 contract period; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (including concession facilities) due March 6, 2025, with a three-year term and two one-year renewal options and local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points; and the State of Georgia's food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026.
