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 (Commodity) does not map cleanly to the recent state and local procurement activity in the source records. The code nominally describes a single ingredient or additive, but the posted opportunities consistently solicit broad fresh produce and food service supply contracts—entire categories of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and grocery items—rather than a specialized non-GMO ingredient line item. Early County Board of Education (RFQ, due June 8, 2026) seeks 300+ food items including meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains for the National School Lunch Program; Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) solicits fresh produce for child nutrition across all district campuses; and the State of Georgia (IFB #4, due May 27, 2026) procures fresh produce to support state operations. None of these solicitations reference non-GMO specification as a primary requirement or commodity driver, and the code's nominal scope does not align with how state and local procurement offices are actually using this taxonomy tier.

School districts and state education or general-services agencies dominate the issuing bodies—Early County Board of Education, Northside Independent School District (Texas), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and the Douglas County School System (Georgia)—with activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri. The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition and warrants skip or watch status pending clarification of whether issuing bodies intend non-GMO specification as a line-item qualifier within broader produce contracts rather than a standalone procurement vehicle.
