UNSPSC 50592503: Dried Non GMO berlicum carrots

The variety of Non GMO carrots known as Non GMO berlicum 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 50592503 Dried Non GMO berlicum carrots is a Commodity code that reflects state and local government procurement of fresh and processed produce for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show that state and local buyers are actually purchasing broad food service supplies—breakfast items, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, and beverages—rather than dried carrots specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District posting opportunities; these are joined by county governments (Hillsborough County), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and special-purpose districts managing senior nutrition programs. Most opportunities require compliance with the National School Lunch Program, Buy American provisions mandating at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content, the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and HACCP food safety plans. Vendors must accept orders through school nutrition management systems, maintain emergency backup stock, submit to blind product testing, and carry substantial commercial general liability and products liability insurance.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions. Hancock County, Georgia (IFB SN002-2027, response due June 26, 2026) solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple and berry varieties, cruciferous and root vegetables, and melons for delivery to three school sites over the 2026–27 school year. Bridgeport, Connecticut (IFB BNB052266, response due June 30, 2026) requested over 1,100 line items spanning groceries, vegetables, fruits, and condiments for the Board of Education's central warehouse and school sites on firm fixed pricing with Net 45 payment terms. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026) requested food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, though pricing is firm and adjustable only for Consumer Price Index changes or federal minimum wage increases. Hillsborough County, Florida (ITB 26-00289, response due June 25, 2026) issued an estimated $17,832,659.90 three-year contract for senior meal preparation and delivery services requiring licensed Florida caterers on the Department of Elderly Affairs Adult Care Food Program list. The code shows no recent activity specific to dried berlicum carrots; the mismatch between the commodity name and the scope of recent opportunities suggests limited targeted procurement under this specific code designation.
