UNSPSC 50592003: Dried Non GMO broccoli raab

The variety of Non GMO broccoli known as Non GMO broccoli raab 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 50592003 Dried Non GMO broccoli raab, a Commodity code, maps poorly to the recent state and local solicitations in the provided dataset, which focus on bulk fresh produce and comprehensive grocery supply rather than specialty dried vegetables. No state or local procurement opportunities specifically soliciting dried broccoli raab or dried cruciferous vegetables appear in the most recent opportunities block. The solicitations listed—including Bridgeport's grocery items for schools, Texas HHSC's food and consumables, Hancock County's fresh produce, and multiple school district grocery and produce contracts—all emphasize fresh, frozen, or processed mainstream food items (apples, carrots, broccoli florets, dairy, meats, frozen vegetables) acquired through IFBs and RFPs by school nutrition programs and county food service operations. Dried specialty vegetables, if procured at all under this commodity code, do not surface in current state and local notices.

School districts in Georgia (Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), Connecticut (Meriden), Florida (Hillsborough County), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier), and Virginia (Fairfax County) dominate recent activity, with Georgia schools issuing multiple fresh produce and food supply RFPs and IFBs between January and June 2026. Issuers span independent school districts, county boards of education, and county commissioners, all targeting July 2026 through June 2027 contract terms. The code shows no relevant recent activity; procurement professionals evaluating opportunities here should skip this category and monitor broader fresh produce and grocery supply codes where documented demand is evident.
