UNSPSC 50594108: Dried Non GMO curry leaves

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO curry leaves that have 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 50594108 Dried Non GMO curry leaves is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—specialty dried herbs and spices—does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code are solicitations for broad food service supply, including fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, condiments, and food service consumables for schools, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and correctional facilities. None of the posted solicitations name dried curry leaves or specialty herbs as line items. The code appears misapplied to these procurements; state and local governments buying under this code are not sourcing the specific commodity the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies in Texas, state departments in Illinois and Georgia, state corrections and comptroller divisions in Texas, school districts in Missouri, Virginia, and Georgia, and transit or regional cooperative purchasing entities. Recent opportunities show activity in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia (Douglas County School System, State of Georgia), Illinois (State of Illinois), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Supplemental Food & Consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products IFB (304T26300CF, approximately 382 line items across multiple facility locations, deadline extended to May 4, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, 76+ items for delivery to 45 schools and distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System Food Supply and Distribution RFP (SN26-003, estimated annual value $9 million, due February 18, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity scope.
