UNSPSC 50586814: Non GMO caperberries

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO caperberries. 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 50586814 Non GMO caperberries is a Commodity code. The recent state and local solicitations under this code show substantial misalignment between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The three substantive opportunities posted since May 2026 — food services at a regional park, produce provision for a health care coalition, and bulk food and supplies for a school district — involve broad food-service categories (fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, condiments, supplies) rather than non-GMO caperberries specifically. State and local procurement offices are tagging general food and beverage acquisition under this Commodity code, but the opportunities themselves do not isolate or require caperberries (GMO or non-GMO) as a line item or category. The issuing bodies span county government (Collier County Parks and Recreation), health care support organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition), state procurement (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), indicating use across multiple jurisdiction types but without a clear pattern of repeat buyers seeking caperberries explicitly.

Geographic activity appears distributed across the Southeast and mid-Atlantic. Recent opportunities include Georgia (state-level food procurement), Florida (Collier County), and other jurisdictions captured in the school-district and health-care-coalition scope, though the source does not identify specific geographic hotspots for caperberry demand. Representative recent solicitations include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items to support National School Lunch Program operations across three schools, and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN, due March 6, 2025). The code shows little relevant recent activity specifically targeting non-GMO caperberries as a distinct product line; the misclassification suggests the code may not be an effective vehicle for targeting caperberry-specific opportunities in state and local procurement.
