UNSPSC 50591908: Dried Non GMO cheltenham mono beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO cheltenham mono 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 50591908 Dried Non GMO Cheltenham Mono Beets (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity specifically aligned with the code's narrow product scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting dried non-GMO cheltenham mono beets or similar specialty dried vegetables; instead, the tagged opportunities encompass broad-spectrum school nutrition and food service contracts spanning comprehensive grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, meal preparation and delivery, and institutional food service across multiple product categories. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the scope of actual solicitations suggests that state and local buyers either source this commodity as part of wider food distribution agreements rather than standalone procurements, or do not currently pursue it at scale through published solicitations.

The recent opportunities recorded under this code span school districts (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Hancock County, Georgia; Bulloch County, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia; Meriden, Connecticut; Douglas County, Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county government (Hillsborough County, Florida), and the City of Dallas, predominantly across the Southeast and mid-Atlantic. Activity dates range from January 2026 through June 2026, with most opportunities clustered in spring and early summer procurement cycles for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, Master Grocery K-12, April 27, 2026 response date), Meriden Public Schools (RFP 026-41, Commercial & USDA Foods, $3.1 million anticipated value, February 25, 2026 response date), and the Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-003, Food Supply and Distribution Services, $9 million estimated annual expenditure, February 18, 2026 response date). None of these solicitations name dried non-GMO cheltenham mono beets as a line item or specification. A business development professional should treat this code as inactive for direct procurement purposes and instead monitor broader grocery and produce family codes where this specialty item might appear as part of larger vendor agreements.
