UNSPSC 50586825: Non GMO donqua

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO donqua. 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 50586825 Non GMO Donqua, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce and food items sourced under non-GMO specifications for state and local institutional and commercial food service operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily for school nutrition programs, park concessions, healthcare facility kitchens, and county food service operations. The work involves sourcing fresh fruits, vegetables, and related food products that meet non-GMO certification standards, food-safety compliance, delivery scheduling, and often domestic-sourcing preferences. Issuing bodies include school districts, county boards of education, county parks and recreation divisions, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices. Recent solicitations show that pricing is typically competitive bid, with vendor evaluation based on product quality, delivery reliability, food-safety certifications, compliance with USDA standards or local procurement preferences, and cost.

Geographic activity spans multiple states, with recent opportunities in Florida (Collier County and Marion Health Care Coalition), Georgia (state procurement and Early County Board of Education), and other jurisdictions. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 for approximately 300+ food items including meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains, with bids due June 8, 2026; the district emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, including concession operations across multiple venues, with proposals due March 6, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. EST and a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026, and the State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 deadline. Contract terms typically run one to three years with renewal options, and vendors must carry general liability insurance, comply with food-safety regulations, maintain HACCP plans, and provide documentation of product sourcing and freshness guarantees.
