UNSPSC 50585903: Non GMO sheep sorrel

The variety of Non GMO sorrel known as Non GMO sheep 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 50585903 Non GMO sheep sorrel is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve broad food-service solicitations—general produce procurement, food-and-kitchen-supply bidding, and school meal-program provisioning—rather than purchases of sheep sorrel specifically or non-GMO produce narrowly. The issuing bodies include county parks departments, county school districts, state procurement offices, and health-care coalitions seeking food vendors and suppliers. No recent opportunity in the source explicitly names or seeks sheep sorrel, suggesting either a tagging misalignment or sparse demand for this item code within state and local procurement channels.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia (state-level food-supply bid), Florida (Collier County parks concession services), and regions served by Marion Health Care Coalition and Early County Schools. The representative opportunities show that state and local buyers posting under this code are actually sourcing full meal-program produce and food supplies rather than specialty or non-GMO items alone. Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 IFB for school food and non-food products emphasizes domestic sourcing and whole-grain preferences across 300+ food items; Collier County's March 6, 2025 ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services sought a full-service concession vendor; and the State of Georgia's June 22, 2026 bid invited food-supplies vendors. The mismatch between the code's commodity name and the broader food-provisioning work actually being solicited suggests this code may not be the optimal entry point for vendors specializing in non-GMO sheep sorrel or similar niche produce lines.
