UNSPSC 50591902: Dried Non GMO albina vereduna beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO albina vereduna 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 50591902 Dried Non GMO albina vereduna beets is a Commodity code covering specialized dried vegetable products for institutional food service. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show actual procurement spanning broad grocery and food-service categories — fresh produce, packaged meal components, and consumables for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and state-supported facilities. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). Work solicited ranges from fresh produce bids to packaged meal boxes to comprehensive senior meal preparation and delivery services, with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content) and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance standard across school nutrition contracts.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and span multiple notice types. Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 response date; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items for the Board of Education via IFB with a June 30, 2026 due date; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services (estimated contract value $17,832,659.90 over three years) due June 25, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026 with a historical annual spend of $1.5 million; the State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and Pascagoula-Gautier School District sought packaged meal boxes due April 29, 2026. The code shows substantial recent activity but the opportunities are tagged broadly rather than specifically to dried beets — suppliers should verify whether individual line items within these large food-service contracts specifically call for dried non-GMO albina vereduna beets or whether the code assignment reflects only incidental inclusion within larger produce or consumable categories.
