UNSPSC 50592807: Dried Non GMO vulcan chard

The variety of Non GMO chard known as Non GMO vulcan 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 50592807 Dried Non GMO Vulcan Chard, a Commodity code, shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The single opportunity posted under this code—Bridgeport's grocery bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026)—does not solicit dried vulcan chard; it covers a broad grocery category spanning 1,100-plus line items including breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meats to support the Bridgeport Board of Education's National School Lunch Program. The code appears to be a misclassification or a placeholder assignment by the procurement system rather than a meaningful match to the work actually being bought.

Recent state and local activity under related produce and food categories spans school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipal jurisdictions across Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and Texas, with opportunities including fresh produce aggregations serving 30-plus districts through buying cooperatives (Douglas County RFP SN 26-004, estimated $5.5 million; Hancock County IFB for fresh produce, due June 26, 2026), comprehensive grocery procurement for individual large school systems (Fairfax County IFB 2000004323, Meriden RFP 026-41 valued at approximately $3.1 million), and specialized food service contracts such as senior meal delivery (Hillsborough County ITB-26-00289, estimated $17.8 million over three years). Vendors pursuing food service and produce supply in state and local markets should track opportunities under broader family and class codes covering fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery distribution, and food service rather than this narrow commodity code, which does not reflect current procurement patterns.
