UNSPSC 50592703: Dried Non GMO chinese celery

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO chinese celery 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 50592703 Dried Non GMO Chinese Celery, a Commodity code, does not show recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' grocery solicitation (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026)—spans over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, beverages, and meat products for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services. Dried non-GMO Chinese celery does not appear as a specified line item in that or any other recent posting, and the remaining opportunities in the dataset address fresh produce, bulk food service, eggs, and general grocery supply without calling out dried Chinese celery as a procurement need.

State and local governments buying under this code would typically be school districts, county boards of education, state purchasing offices, and institutional food service operations serving senior meals or state-supported living centers. However, the recent opportunity record shows no purchasing pattern for dried non-GMO Chinese celery specifically. The broader grocery and produce solicitations from Bridgeport, Texas Health and Human Services, Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Hillsborough County (Florida), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), and Douglas County Schools (Georgia) document demand for fresh produce, eggs, staple foods, and bulk meal delivery—but none identify dried Chinese celery as a line item or requirement. This code appears dormant in state and local procurement or mislabeled in the taxonomy relative to actual buying patterns.
