UNSPSC 50586824: Non GMO diakon

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO diakon. 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 50586824 Non GMO diakon, a Commodity code, appears in state and local solicitations for fresh produce and food-service products, though the recent opportunities show limited direct alignment with the "non-GMO diakon" nomenclature. State and local governments buying under this code are sourcing fresh fruits, vegetables, and related food items for parks and recreation concessions, healthcare facilities, school nutrition programs, and institutional food service. The issuing bodies span county governments (Collier County Parks and Recreation), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), state departments (Georgia state procurement), and independent school districts (Early County Board of Education). Scope varies from single-venue concession operations to multi-item produce contracts to broad institutional food-service procurement including meats, dairy, grains, and prepared items meeting USDA nutrition standards and domestic-sourcing preferences.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park and Sun N Fun Water Park, due March 6, 2025, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points and a three-year contract term plus two one-year renewal options. Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026. The State of Georgia issued a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations. School districts and county recreation departments dominate the recent opportunity set, with contract terms typically spanning one to three years.
