UNSPSC 50586841: Non GMO maguey leaves

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO maguey leaves. 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 50586841 Non GMO maguey leaves (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under this code. The source records show no solicitations for maguey leaves or similar specialty produce; instead, all recent opportunities are for fresh produce, eggs, and food service items standard to school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations.

The disconnect between the code and the actual buying activity reflects how state and local procurement offices sometimes index opportunities using codes that do not match their functional scope. No meaningful business development signal exists under this specific commodity code at this time, as current state and local activity shows no demand for non-GMO maguey leaves or related specialty crops. School districts, county boards of education, and state agencies in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida are actively procuring conventional fresh produce (apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, eggs, and seasonal items) through RFPs and ITBs with response dates between March and June 2026, but maguey leaves do not appear in any of the recent specifications or scope documents. Vendors targeting institutional food service contracts should monitor produce-family codes that reflect the commodities actually being solicited rather than rely on this code for market intelligence.
