UNSPSC 50592800: Dried Non GMO chards

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO chards 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 50592800 Dried Non GMO Chards is a Class code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The most recent opportunities solicited under this code—grocery items for school nutrition programs, fresh produce for school meal services, senior meal preparation and delivery, and food supplies for state facilities—span fresh vegetables, fruits, prepared meals, and general food service consumables, but dried non-GMO chards appear in none of the five representative solicitations posted between April and June 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local buyers are acquiring broad categories of food and consumables for nutrition programs rather than the specific commodity of dried non-GMO chards.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and a state-supported living center. Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items due June 26, 2026; Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026. These opportunities emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, nutritional standards, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel or freight surcharges.
