UNSPSC 50591901: Dried Non GMO action beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO action beets that have been dried for preservation. 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 50591901 Dried Non GMO action beets, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged with this code—a Bridgeport Board of Education grocery procurement (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026)—names dried beets only as one item within a 1,100-line-item food service bid spanning breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meat products. The broader activity in the source reflects school districts, county food service authorities, and state agencies buying comprehensive grocery and fresh-produce contracts rather than single-commodity purchases. Representatives of recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, April 27, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce (IFB SN002-2027, June 26, 2026), Bulloch County Board of Education comprehensive school nutrition groceries (IFB #043025, May 4, 2026), and the City of Meriden's commercial groceries and USDA Foods (RFP 026-41, February 25, 2026, approximately $3.1 million).

The code shows negligible recent specialization toward dried non-GMO beets as a standalone procurement target. School districts dominate the buying base across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Virginia, and Mississippi, along with state food service authorities in Texas and Georgia. The actual activity consolidates food sourcing into broad category buys—fresh produce, comprehensive grocery, and meal preparation services—where individual ingredients like dried beets are line items within larger contracts rather than standalone bids. Buyers apply uniform requirements across these procurements: Buy American provisions (51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP food safety plans, nutritional labeling compliance, delivery to multiple sites on fixed schedules, firm-fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and insurance requirements of $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence. If pursuing this code, focus on participation in district-wide or cooperative grocery contracts where dried beets appear as specified items rather than expecting standalone commodity solicitations.
