UNSPSC 50591918: Dried Non GMO monaco beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO monaco 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 50591918 Dried Non GMO Monaco Beets, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a single food product line, but the available opportunities solicited under this UNSPSC reference broader grocery, fresh produce, and food service procurement spanning dozens or hundreds of line items—not dried beets specifically.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect institutional food service sourcing across school districts, state agencies, counties, and municipalities. Bridgeport Public Schools (Connecticut) posted an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items in June 2026, including vegetables but not isolating dried beets; Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for food and consumable products for a state-supported living center with estimated prior-period spend of $1.5 million; Hancock County Schools (Georgia) solicited fresh produce across 200 line items; Hillsborough County (Florida) sought senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years; Douglas County Schools (Georgia) issued RFPs for fresh produce and eggs and for main-line food supply and distribution, with the latter estimated at $9 million annually; and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), and Pascagoula-Gautier Schools (Mississippi) all posted grocery or produce solicitations between April and June 2026. The geographic spread spans Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Virginia, and Mississippi. These opportunities signal active, recurring procurement across the institutional food service sector, but they do not isolate dried beets or similar specialty produce items as discrete line-item opportunities. The code classification appears to be a cataloging artifact; vendors pursuing this specific commodity should monitor school nutrition and institutional cafeteria RFPs and IFBs for inclusion of dried beets in multi-category grocery baskets, but should not expect dedicated solicitations for the commodity alone.
