UNSPSC 50592101: Dried Non GMO citadel brussel sprouts

The variety of Non GMO brussel sprouts known as Non GMO citadel brussel sprouts 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 50592101 Dried Non GMO citadel brussel sprouts is a Commodity code that nominally names a single produce item, though the recent opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the specific product. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts, county health and human services agencies, and municipal purchasing departments sourcing fresh and processed food products for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service. The scope of actual purchases spans fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables including broccoli and Brussels sprouts, root vegetables, citrus, melons, leafy greens, peppers, and tomatoes), packaged meal boxes for summer food service programs, and broader grocery line items (breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meat products). Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county commissions (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia). Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content in many procurements, Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP plans, and comprehensive insurance coverage ranging from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence depending on the scope.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and reflects a mix of school-year produce contracts and year-round institutional food service. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response date; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program with a June 30, 2026 deadline; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026 response date and prior-period value of $1.5 million; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year contract value of $17,832,659.90; and Pascagoula-Gautier School District's April 2026 IFB for packaged 7-day meal boxes for summer food service. The code shows activity in Georgia, Mississippi, Connecticut, Florida, and Texas, with school nutrition programs and senior meal services driving most recent solicitations.
