UNSPSC 50592609: Dried Non GMO purple cape cauliflowers

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO purple cape 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 50592609 Dried Non GMO purple cape cauliflowers is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, but the recent state and local solicitations show little activity directly matching dried purple cape cauliflowers. Instead, the code appears in broader school nutrition and institutional food service procurements spanning fresh and processed produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples required to meet National School Lunch Program standards and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition requirements. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city boards of education (Bridgeport, Connecticut), county school districts (Hancock County, Georgia; Pascagoula-Gautier, Mississippi), county governments delivering senior services (Hillsborough County, Florida), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). These buyers typically require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), HACCP food safety plans, vendor insurance in the $1 million to $2 million per-occurrence range, and firm fixed pricing over contract terms of one to three years, with delivery to multiple school sites or institutional facilities.

Recent opportunities span multiple states with the heaviest concentration in the Southeast. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB SN002-2027 in June 2026 for over 200 line items of fresh produce (bids due June 26, 2026), while Hillsborough County, Florida opened competitive sealed bids for three-year senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million (due June 25, 2026). The City of Bridgeport's Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items for the Board of Education in June 2026 across 1,100 line items with electronic bids due June 30, 2026 and contract term July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 13, 2026, with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million). The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026) with detailed scope in an attached document. Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi solicited packaged 7-day meal boxes for the Summer Food Service Program (sealed bids due April 29, 2026). The code shows activity across school districts and county agencies in Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Texas, with the majority of recent solicitations posted between April and June 2026.
