UNSPSC 50592713: Dried Non GMO soup celery d'amsterdam

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO soup celery d'amsterdam 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 50592713 Dried Non GMO soup celery d'amsterdam is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific dried vegetable product; however, recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code span broad grocery, food service, and meal delivery categories with no documented purchases of dried soup celery or products matching the code's specificity. The opportunities recorded—including comprehensive school nutrition grocery bids, fresh produce contracts, senior meal preparation services, and institutional food supply agreements—do not align with the narrow commodity scope. This mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or extremely limited actual purchasing under the code's intended product line at the state and local level.

State and local procurement activity recorded under related food and grocery categories reflects school districts (Bridgeport, Fairfax County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Meriden, Douglas County, and Pascagoula-Gautier), county human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Hillsborough County), and municipal offices (City of Dallas, City of Meriden) sourcing comprehensive food products—fresh produce, dairy, proteins, prepared meals, groceries, and supplies—through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notices with response deadlines spanning late February through July 2026. Recent examples include Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services (due June 25, 2026, estimated value $17.8 million over three years), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026, covering 52 school sites and distribution centers), and Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution serving 32 schools with approximately $9 million estimated annual spend (due February 18, 2026). Procurement is concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut school districts, Texas state human services, and Florida and Virginia counties, with Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, nutritional standards, and firm fixed pricing standard across opportunities. The code as defined does not reliably predict what is actually being purchased in state and local markets.
