UNSPSC 50586819: Non GMO chrysanthemum greens

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO chrysanthemum greens. 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 50586819 Non GMO chrysanthemum greens is a Commodity code that sees limited recent state and local solicitation activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span food services and produce procurement across diverse issuing bodies — county park systems, healthcare coalitions, state purchasing offices, and school districts — but the actual work being bought covers broad fresh produce and food-service categories rather than specialty greens specifically. Collier County's North Collier Regional Park food-services ITN and Marion Health Care Coalition's produce RFP both reference fresh fruits and vegetables in general terms without specifying non-GMO chrysanthemum greens, and the Early County Board of Education bid similarly encompasses approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits across USDA school lunch program compliance. The code shows state and local governments procuring food and produce through traditional competitive bidding and ITN vehicles, often with preferences for local vendors, food-safety compliance, and domestic sourcing.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and state-level procurement offices. Collier County (Florida), Marion Health Care Coalition, Early County Board of Education (Georgia), and the State of Georgia all posted opportunities between May and October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services due March 6, 2025 with a 10-point local-vendor preference, Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposal due August 21, 2026, the State of Georgia's broad food and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026, and Early County Schools' line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering school breakfast and lunch programs with emphasis on Buy American, whole-grain bread options, low-sodium items, and domestic sourcing. The code does not show concentrated repeat purchasing for non-GMO chrysanthemum greens specifically; broader fresh-produce and food-service procurement under related codes likely represents more active opportunity pipelines for firms in this commodity space.
