UNSPSC 50592500: Dried Non GMO carrots

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO carrots 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 50592500 Dried Non GMO carrots (Class) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The single recent opportunity identified—a City of Bridgeport grocery-items procurement for the Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services—names the code but solicits over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, fresh and dried vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meat products. Dried non-GMO carrots, if procured at all under this code, represent a fractional subset of a comprehensive food service supply contract. The remaining opportunities in the block—fresh produce RFPs from school districts and state agencies in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Florida, plus bulk meal delivery and senior meal services—focus on fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, and prepared meal services rather than dried vegetable commodities.

Recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code reflects demand from school nutrition programs (Bridgeport, Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Bulloch County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Schools in Georgia, and Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut), a state-supported living center (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), a county senior meal program (Hillsborough County, Florida), and statewide commodity procurement (State of Georgia). The geographic spread spans Connecticut, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, and Texas, with school district food service contracts representing the dominant buyer category. However, the code's nominal scope—dried non-GMO carrots—does not meaningfully describe the composite buying activity. Business development professionals should treat this code as a taxonomy misclassification: if targeting school nutrition supply or institutional food service, more accurate UNSPSC codes likely exist for comprehensive grocery or fresh-produce procurement. The code as tagged shows little decision-relevant activity specific to dried carrot products.
