UNSPSC 50586816: Non GMO cha-om

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO cha-om. 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 50586816 Non GMO cha-om is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities posted under this code show little connection to cha-om procurement; instead, they span general food services, produce, and school lunch programs. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners is soliciting food-service concession vendors for North Collier Regional Park via Invitation to Negotiate with proposals due March 6, 2025, encompassing diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues with a three-year term and local-vendor preference. Marion Health Care Coalition issued a produce RFQ for the 2026-2027 period with an August 21, 2026 response date. The State of Georgia and Early County Board of Education both solicited general food, supplies, and kitchen products. These opportunities reflect how state and local jurisdictions tag broader food procurement under commodity codes when specific specialty items are not the primary focus.

The geographic spread captures Collier County and Marion County in Florida, the State of Georgia, and Early County schools in Georgia. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, health-care coalitions, state procurement offices, and school districts. Because the posted opportunities do not actually involve cha-om procurement and the code sees no recent activity aligned to its stated commodity, firms pursuing this code should expect sparse, sporadic opportunities and verify each new posting against actual product or service scope rather than relying on the UNSPSC label alone.
