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, a Commodity code, describes specialized culinary ingredients that state and local governments procure as components of broader food service supply contracts. Recent state and local opportunities show that this code sits within larger institutional food procurements spanning shelf-stable groceries, frozen products, dairy, proteins, condiments, and specialty food items. State and local buyers—primarily state health and human services agencies, county governments, and state criminal justice departments—tag food service solicitations with this code when dried herbs or specialty ingredients appear in the item line. The work involves supplying food items to state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services centers, and other institutional food programs, with vendors typically responding to invitation-for-bid (IFB) solicitations that specify exact brands, pack sizes, and delivery timelines.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs in 2026 for food and consumable products serving Mexia and El Paso State Supported Living Centers (IFB HHS0017798, HHS0017799, and HHS0017449, with response dates August 25 and July 11, 2026), covering grocery categories including dried goods and specialty items with historical annual values ranging from $160,500 to $1.5 million. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procured cafeteria food products for the Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026) across five geographic warehouse distribution points. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners sought informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including sauces, soups, and specialty ingredients for senior services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois and State of Georgia posted food supply solicitations in mid-2026. Dried non-GMO curry leaves and similar specialty ingredients typically represent a small line-item subset within these larger procurements; no recent solicitation specifically highlighted curry leaves as a primary scope element, and opportunities appear sporadic rather than routine under this specific commodity code.
