UNSPSC 50586835: Non GMO kudzu

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO kudzu. 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 50586835 Non GMO kudzu is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual buying activity in recent state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly procure fresh produce, grains, dairy, eggs, and packaged grocery items for school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, and state operations — not kudzu or any specialty legume products. The code designation appears misaligned with the goods being solicited.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with multiple Georgia school systems (Early County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Bulloch County), Texas independent school districts (Northside, Austin, McAllen), Florida's Hillsborough County Public Schools, and Missouri's Rockwood School District all posting fresh produce and food service RFPs and IFBs in the past three months. Georgia state agencies also appear as buyers. Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include Early County Board of Education's RFP for line-by-line food and produce bids (due June 8, 2026), Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce for child nutrition across 127 campuses in San Antonio (due May 7, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program across 18 elementary schools (due March 11, 2026, with public meeting April 15, 2026), the Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One (due March 4, 2026), and Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages across all food service locations (due March 11, 2026). Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options; pricing must remain firm with potential midterm adjustments tied to USDA market reports or CPI data; and Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, and liability insurance of $1 million or higher are standard requirements. The code shows no recent activity aligned with kudzu procurement and should not be relied upon for business development targeting this taxonomy.
