UNSPSC 50594111: Dried Non GMO fenugreek

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO fenugreek 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 50594111 Dried Non GMO fenugreek is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect purchases of fenugreek or other spice inputs. Instead, the opportunities show broad food-service procurement for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and state supported living centers — sourcing weekly grocery staples, fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, and consumable supplies across dozens to hundreds of line items per contract. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to be a classification mismatch in the underlying procurement records.

The representative opportunities span Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with the densest activity in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, and Comptroller solicitations) and Georgia (Douglas County School System regional cooperative). School districts and state health and human services agencies dominate the issuing-body mix. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years and response deadlines in February through July 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) are soliciting master grocery contracts for K–12 food service, and the Texas Comptroller is procuring cafeteria food products for the Department of Criminal Justice with approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse regions. Douglas County School System in Georgia is using the GEC Buying Cooperative to source fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across two areas with estimated spending of $5.5 million annually. Given the breadth of recent state and local food-service solicitations and the absence of fenugreek or specialty spice purchases in the record, this code does not represent an active market for the commodity named.
