UNSPSC 50592806: Dried Non GMO swiss chard

The variety of Non GMO chard known as Non GMO swiss chard 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 50592806 Dried Non GMO Swiss Chard is a Commodity code that represents a single product line within state and local procurement activity. However, the recent opportunities in the source do not contain specific solicitations for dried non-GMO swiss chard as a distinct line item. The opportunities posted under this code span broader food and consumable procurement for school nutrition programs, state-supported living facilities, senior meal services, and general institutional food supply — including fresh produce, grocery items, and packaged meal components. The issuing bodies soliciting under related food codes include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). School districts and state agencies appear as repeat participants in nutrition and food service procurement.

Recent activity spans multiple states: Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education, IFB BNB052266 for grocery items due June 30, 2026), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026), Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce due June 26, 2026; State of Georgia bid PE55645NONST2026000000009 for food, supplies, and kitchen products due June 22, 2026), Florida (Hillsborough County ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District for packaged meal boxes due April 29, 2026). The code shows minimal specific activity for the dried swiss chard commodity itself; procurement under this UNSPSC appears to route through broader food and nutrition solicitations rather than as a discrete line item.
