UNSPSC 50593700: Dried Non GMO fennels

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO fennels 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 50593700 Dried Non GMO fennels (Class) does not see meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The UNSPSC code nominal scope — specialty dried herbs and spices — is too narrow to match the solicitations tagged under it, which span comprehensive school nutrition contracts, senior meal delivery, and broad grocery procurement across dozens of product categories.

Recent opportunities in this code block are mislabeled. The Bridgeport Board of Education (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) solicited over 1,100 line items of breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meat products for school lunch and national school nutrition compliance — not dried fennels. Similarly, Hancock County Schools (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB, due June 26, 2026) and Bulloch County Schools (PE55612NONST2026000000033, IFB, due May 4, 2026) solicited fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, and citrus across multiple school sites. The Douglas County School System (PE64810NONST2026000000046 and PE64810NONST2026000000047, RFP, February and March 2026) sought main-line food distribution and fresh produce plus eggs for 25,500–30,000 students across 18–32 schools with estimated annual spending of $4.4–$9 million per contract. Fairfax County Public Schools (2000004323, IFB, due April 27, 2026) and Meriden Public Schools (RFP02641, RFP, due February 25, 2026, ~$3.1 million anticipated value) both issued master grocery contracts spanning multiple food groups. The City of Dallas (BFZ2600029731, RFCSP, due March 27, 2026) solicited boxed and bulk meal delivery; Hillsborough County (ITB2600289, ITB, due June 25, 2026) issued an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery valued at $17.8 million over three years. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) and the State of Georgia (PE55645NONST2026000000009 and PE68504NONST2026000000006) also posted food procurement RFQs. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport, Fairfax County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Douglas County, Meriden, Savannah-Chatham, Pascagoula-Gautier), counties (Hillsborough), states (Georgia, Texas), and cities (Dallas, Meriden). Dried non-GMO fennels as a discrete procurement category do not appear in any recent solicitation abstract or specification detail, and the code tagging reflects a taxonomy misalignment rather than active market demand for this commodity.
