UNSPSC 50592606: Dried Non GMO limelight cauliflowers

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO limelight 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 50592606 Dried Non GMO limelight cauliflowers is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity does not substantively align with this specific product line. The code's nominal scope targets a single dried vegetable item, yet the opportunities tagged under this code span comprehensive school nutrition procurement, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts that encompass hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods—only tangentially including fresh or processed cauliflower as one item among many. The mismatch between code definition and actual buying activity suggests either miscoding at the source or a data governance issue; dried non-GMO limelight cauliflowers appear rarely if at all in the recent solicitations reviewed.

State and local procurement under this code, where opportunities are tagged, occurs across school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and county commissioners throughout the Southeast and mid-Atlantic. Recent representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education (due June 30, 2026), the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with firm fixed pricing through June 30, 2027 (due April 27, 2026), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce bid encompassing 72 items and 60 delivery sites (due April 23, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services IFB for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with prior-period spend of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026). Activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida school districts, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia; buying offices uniformly require Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and delivery within specified windows, typically Monday through Friday during standard business hours.
