UNSPSC 50592600: Dried Non GMO cauliflowers

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO cauliflowers 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 50592600 Dried Non GMO cauliflowers is a Class code that encompasses dried vegetable products, particularly processed cauliflower, but the recent state and local opportunities dataset shows no solicitations directly aligned with this narrow commodity classification. The available opportunities in the source instead reflect broader food procurement spanning fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply for school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery services, and institutional food service contracts. While dried cauliflower as a standalone item may appear in larger food service RFPs, the dataset contains no dedicated solicitations for dried non-GMO cauliflower or comparable dried vegetable commodities. This suggests either minimal standalone procurement volume for this specific product at the state and local level or classification tagging that does not align with actual commodity sourcing.

The recent opportunities in the dataset span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), a county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), a city (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and City of Dallas), and purchasing cooperatives serving multiple districts (GEC Buying Cooperative across Georgia districts). These buyers pursue comprehensive food supply contracts with RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs in the $1.5 million to $17.8 million range, predominantly in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Opportunities are concentrated in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, and Mississippi. Recent activity includes Meriden Public Schools' RFP for commercial groceries and USDA Foods (anticipated award April 24, 2026 at approximately $3.1 million annually), Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperating districts (estimated $5.5 million combined for two geographic areas), and Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery (estimated $17.8 million over three years). None of these solicitations isolate dried non-GMO cauliflower as a line item or evaluate vendors on that commodity alone.
