UNSPSC 50591919: Dried Non GMO monogram beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO monogram 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 50591919 Dried Non GMO Monogram Beets, a Commodity code, covers dried specialty vegetables procured by state and local institutions for food service operations. State and local governments buy this product primarily as part of larger school nutrition and institutional meal programs, where dried produce items support menu diversification and nutritional compliance under federal child nutrition standards. The code sees activity from school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county nutrition departments that contract for grocery and food-service commodities. Solicitations under this code typically embed dried vegetables within broader grocery or food-supply RFQs and IFBs rather than as standalone line items, reflecting their role as component ingredients in meal planning rather than primary procurement drivers.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 for grocery items to support the Bridgeport Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services Department, encompassing over 1,100 line items and requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content compliance, with bids due June 30, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services posted IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and proposals due July 11, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requested bids on fresh produce under IFB SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 fresh-produce line items with delivery to three school sites. These solicitations do not isolate dried-beet purchases; the code shows limited independent procurement visibility in recent state and local contracting activity, appearing only as an embedded commodity classification within broader grocery-supply and meal-service contracts.
