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 covers dehydrated and preserved cauliflower products used in institutional and school meal programs, though the recent opportunity block shows minimal direct sourcing of this specific commodity in isolation. State and local governments procure dried cauliflower as one line item within broader food-service contracts rather than as a standalone ingredient category. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county boards of education supplying National School Lunch Program and child nutrition summer food service operations, along with state health and human services agencies operating institutional care facilities. Work solicited under this code spans participation in multi-item grocery and fresh/processed produce RFPs and IFBs where dried vegetables appear as one of hundreds of SKUs alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples, all subject to Buy American provisions (typically 51 percent domestic agricultural content), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and HACCP compliance.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posted BNB052266 on June 30, 2026, a grocery items IFB spanning over 1,100 line items with a response date of June 30, 2026 and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce across 200-plus items with bids due June 26, 2026 and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with responses due July 13, 2026 and a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million. Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) sought packaged meal boxes under Bid 609-26 with a response deadline of April 29, 2026. The code itself shows limited standalone activity; dried cauliflower surfaces primarily as a minor ingredient within comprehensive institutional food procurement vehicles rather than as a principal procurement focus.
