UNSPSC 50592301: Dried Non GMO black cabbages

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO black cabbage that has 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 50592301 Dried Non GMO black cabbages is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally designates a single specialty agricultural product—dried, non-GMO black cabbage—yet the recent opportunities posted under this taxonomy reflect substantially broader grocery and fresh produce sourcing across school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply. School districts in Georgia, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida are soliciting comprehensive grocery line items spanning produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods; none of the posted opportunities explicitly names dried black cabbage as a line item or primary focus. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that dried black cabbage specifications are embedded within larger fresh or frozen vegetable categories that procurement offices have tagged at the commodity level without product-level specificity.

State and local buyers sourcing under this code are predominantly school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Meriden Public Schools, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District), with secondary activity from Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving a state-supported living center and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners providing senior meal services. Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Virginia, and Mississippi, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts. Representative recent solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 line-item grocery items due June 30, 2026; Douglas County School System RFP SN26-003 for $9 million in annual food supply and distribution to 32 schools, proposals due February 18, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce due June 26, 2026; and Meriden Public Schools RFP 026-41 for commercial groceries and USDA Foods with anticipated contract value of $3.1 million, award April 24, 2026. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content and HACCP food safety compliance appear across solicitations. The code shows active procurement volume but poor commodity-level specificity; pursue only if your firm can source comprehensive grocery assortments rather than dried cabbage as a standalone SKU.
