UNSPSC 50586844: Non GMO moap

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO moap. 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 50586844 Non GMO moap, a Commodity code, describes products state and local governments procure under child nutrition and institutional food service programs — primarily fresh produce, eggs, and prepared or specialty food items sourced for school cafeterias and related meal programs. The code appears narrowly applied in recent state and local solicitations; the actual buying activity centers on fresh produce and eggs supplied to school nutrition programs under line-item competitive bidding, with emphasis on USDA compliance, food safety certification (HACCP), Buy American sourcing preferences, and domestic agricultural products. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, ranging from single-district systems serving under 7,000 students to large urban districts serving 20,000 or more; buying cooperatives such as the GEC Buying Cooperative aggregate demand across multiple districts for economies of scale. Georgia and Texas school districts account for the plurality of recent solicitation activity, with additional activity in Florida, Missouri, and across the Southeast.

Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) RFQ for line-by-line food bids across 300+ food items and 60 non-food products for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with response due June 8, 2026; Northside Independent School District (Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 127 campuses with proposals due May 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM (CT); the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) ITB for over 900 grocery line items with electronic bids due April 29, 2026 at 9:45 a.m. CDT; and the Douglas County School System cooperative RFP (Georgia) covering fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Evaluation criteria consistently weight price competitiveness (30–50 points), product quality and freshness (15–30 points), vendor qualifications and experience (typically three to five years minimum), and compliance with federal food safety and Buy American standards. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options for one to four additional one-year terms; delivery requirements emphasize Monday–Friday schedules during school hours with temperature-controlled transport, HACCP certification, recall procedures, and $500,000 to $2 million general liability insurance.
