UNSPSC 50592501: Dried Non GMO amsterdam carrots

The variety of Non GMO carrots known as Non GMO amsterdam carrots 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 50592501 Dried Non GMO Amsterdam Carrots is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single product line, but recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct procurement activity matching the specific carrot type. The recent solicitations tagged under this code predominantly address broader food and produce supply for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and state-supported living facilities. Work actually being solicited spans fresh and processed produce, prepared meals, grocery staples, and consumable food service items — far wider than dried carrots alone. 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 municipal purchasing departments. School districts and county nutrition programs represent the dominant buyer base, with contracts running 12 months or longer and emphasizing Buy American provisions, nutritional compliance, and delivery to multiple sites.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with recent posted opportunities from Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (due June 30, 2026) supporting the National School Lunch Program with 51 percent domestic agricultural content required; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items including carrots, apples, berries, and leafy greens (due June 26, 2026, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 11, 2026, with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million); and Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years (due June 25, 2026). The code shows activity under school-lunch and senior-nutrition programs with firm fixed pricing, prepaid freight, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards, but no opportunities isolated to dried carrots specifically.
