UNSPSC 50593704: Dried Non GMO perfection fennel

The variety of Non GMO fennel known as Non GMO perfection fennel 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 50593704 Dried Non GMO perfection fennel, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single dried herb product; however, the most recent opportunities in the block show no purchases of dried fennel or specialty dried herbs. Instead, state and local buyers soliciting under this code or related food-service categories are pursuing broad grocery, produce, and meal-service contracts that encompass hundreds of line items spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, frozen goods, condiments, and prepared meals — but not dried fennel as a discrete procurement target.

The recent opportunities reflect activity by school districts, county governments, state agencies, and municipal departments across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce under IFB #SN002-2027 with bids due June 26, 2026; Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #043025 for comprehensive school nutrition groceries with a May 4, 2026 deadline; Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) posted an RFP for commercial groceries and USDA Foods with an anticipated $3.1 million contract value and proposals due February 25, 2026; Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting approximately 25,500 students with an estimated $9 million annual spend and proposals due February 18, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 with proposals due July 13, 2026. These procurements establish long-term supply relationships (typically July through June school-year cycles with renewal options) and emphasize Buy American requirements, HACCP food-safety compliance, nutritional standards, and fixed pricing with limited cost-adjustment mechanisms. Dried fennel as a standalone item does not feature in the recent block. Vendors pursuing activity coded to this commodity should verify the actual scope before committing resources — the code classification does not align with the scale or composition of state and local food-service demand currently posted.
