UNSPSC 50586828: Non GMO gailon

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO gailon. 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 50586828 Non GMO Gallon, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The sourced opportunities consistently solicit fresh produce (fruits, vegetables, eggs) and related food service items for child nutrition and school meal programs rather than non-GMO gallon-sized products of any description.

State and local school districts and boards of education dominate activity under this code designation, including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Bulloch County School District (Georgia). State purchasing offices in Georgia also posted solicitations under this code. The consistent pattern reflects school nutrition program procurement for cafeteria supply, including the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) and the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's RFP for food vendors (response due June 8, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for FFVP specialty fruits and vegetables (response due March 11, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia (response due March 4, 2026, with estimated spend of $5.5 million combined across two geographic areas). Additional solicitations include the State of Georgia IFB for fresh produce (response due May 27, 2026), Northside Independent School District RFP (response due May 7, 2026), and Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally-grown produce within 200 miles (response due May 4, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri. Georgia hosts the heaviest volume, with multiple school districts and state-level solicitations active through spring 2026. Texas shows secondary but significant concentration in San Antonio (NISD) and Austin (AISD). Missouri appears once (Rockwood R-VI). Geographic scope extends across school food service procurement where domestic sourcing preferences, USDA compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, and temperature-controlled delivery between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. weekdays are standard contract requirements. Evaluation typically emphasizes lowest responsive bid, product quality, on-time delivery, and vendor experience with public school systems. The code classification appears to be a data quality issue—no non-GMO gallon products appear in any of the solicited opportunities.
