UNSPSC 50585904: Non GMO wood sorrel

The variety of Non GMO sorrel known as Non GMO wood 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 50585904 Non GMO wood sorrel is a Commodity code with negligible recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract definition refers to a specific produce item — non-GMO wood sorrel, a leafy green used in culinary applications — yet the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations requesting wood sorrel by name or narrow botanical specification. Instead, state and local governments tag broader fresh-produce and food-service contracts under this code, reflecting how procurement offices classify general produce family buys rather than line-item botanicals. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the actual work being procured signals either coding inconsistency at the source or that this code sits unused for its intended purpose.

The recent opportunities demonstrate that school districts, county boards of education, and state departments are actively soliciting fresh produce for child nutrition, school breakfast and lunch programs, and farm-to-school initiatives across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs with response dates spanning March through June 2026. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items with emphasis on domestic sourcing and whole-grain products; Northside Independent School District's fresh-produce RFP (due May 7, 2026) serving 127 campuses across San Antonio with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance; Glynn County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (due April 14, 2026) for 16 schools with 60 produce line items; and Douglas County School System's cooperative-buying RFP serving 30 districts with approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spending across two Georgia regions. These procurements emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, food safety traceability, temperature-controlled delivery, price anchoring to USDA market indexes, and renewal options extending two to four additional years. The code shows no standout repeat buyers — activity is distributed across independent school districts and county school systems — and geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri.
