UNSPSC 50592103: Dried Non GMO oliver brussel sprouts

The variety of Non GMO brussel sprouts known as Non GMO oliver 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 50592103 Dried Non-GMO Oliver Brussels Sprouts is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line — dehydrated or freeze-dried brussels sprouts sourced without genetic modification — but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show that what state and local governments are actually purchasing is far broader food procurement: school nutrition programs, senior meal services, facility food supply, and child nutrition initiatives spanning hundreds of line items from fresh produce to packaged meals to grocery items. School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), and Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) appearing in recent solicitations; state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia) and county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida) round out the buyer base. The code shows a substantial mismatch between its narrow nominal scope and the actual purchasing activity being tagged to it — the recent opportunities do not consistently seek dried brussels sprouts as a discrete line item but rather reflect broader food service contracting.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and regions with no geographic concentration. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an RFB (BNB052266) for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program with a due date of June 30, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB (HHS0017449) for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 11, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (including brussels sprouts among cruciferous vegetables) for school year 2026–27 with bids due June 26, 2026; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITB (ITB-26-00289) for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years with bids due June 25, 2026. A State of Georgia solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products closed June 22, 2026. The code shows little evidence of recent activity specifically targeting dried or dehydrated brussels sprouts as a standalone commodity; opportunities are instead broad-based food service and nutrition procurement.
