UNSPSC 50592106: Dried Non GMO rubine brussel sprouts

The variety of Non GMO brussel sprouts known as Non GMO rubine 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 50592106 Dried Non GMO rubine brussels sprouts is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities in the source. The code names a single specialized ingredient—dried, non-GMO rubine (red) brussels sprouts—yet the solicitations tagged under it span broad food-service contracting including school lunch programs, senior meal delivery, state-facility food supply, and children's nutrition programs that source dozens or hundreds of produce and food items through single blanket RFPs and IFBs. The 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 governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). None of the opportunities name dried brussels sprouts or any single-ingredient sourcing; all solicit mixed-basket food purchases under cooperative or blanket awards.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with the largest visible value in Florida—Hillsborough County's three-year senior meal contract with an estimated value of $17,832,659.90, an ITB due June 25, 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's grocery-items IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning 1,100 line items for school food service; Hancock County's fresh-produce IFB (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 fresh-produce items for the 2026–27 school year; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center with prior-period spend of $1.5 million. The code shows little relevant recent activity—it is misaligned with the actual scope of state and local food procurement, which operates at the mixed-basket or family level, not at single-ingredient commodity specificity.
