UNSPSC 50591921: Dried Non GMO regalia beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO regalia 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 50591921 Dried Non GMO regalia beets is a Commodity code that captures dried vegetable products sourced for institutional food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows activity focused on broader fresh and processed food procurement rather than dried beets specifically. State and local governments soliciting under this code include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). The scope of work spans institutional meal preparation — breakfast items, lunch components, fresh produce, processed vegetables, and consumable kitchen supplies — acquired through IFBs and competitive sealed bid processes to support National School Lunch Program compliance, senior nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers. Contracts typically require Buy American agricultural sourcing (minimum 51 percent domestic content), HACCP food safety plans, nutritional standards compliance, firm fixed pricing for contract terms running July through June or September through August, and delivery to multiple school or facility sites on standard pallets with prepaid freight.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast and South, with named solicitations in Connecticut (Bridgeport), Georgia (Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (El Paso), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier). The Bridgeport Board of Education IFB BNB052266 for grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items closed June 30, 2026, with blind testing, nutritional labeling, and nut-free requirements. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center ran through July 13, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and a three-year term structure. Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce closed June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty produce. Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services closed June 25, 2026, with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 and mandatory caterer licensing through the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs. The code shows no standout repeat buyers across the recent opportunities, and the block presents limited evidence of activity specifically targeting dried beets as a line item.
