UNSPSC 50586851: Non GMO raddichios

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO raddichios. 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 50586851 Non GMO raddichios is a Commodity code that covers fresh produce items, particularly specialty or certified produce varieties, as purchased by state and local food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code include general produce procurement by county parks concession vendors, healthcare coalition food services, state kitchens, and school nutrition programs. The work encompasses sourcing, delivery, and compliance with food safety regulations, quality standards, and seasonal availability requirements. State and local issuing bodies range from county departments and park authorities to school boards, state procurement offices, and healthcare organizations. Vendors must meet delivery timelines, volume specifications, temperature maintenance where required, and documentation standards such as HACCP plans and food recall procedures.

The code shows recent activity across multiple states and issuing-body types. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate in October 2026 for food concessions at North Collier Regional Park with a March 6, 2025 response deadline and 10 evaluation points for local-vendor preference. The Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period. The State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering approximately 300 food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, while carriers must maintain temperature control and rotate inventory by sell-by date with minimum 10–14 days from delivery.
