UNSPSC 50594123: Dried Non GMO savory

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO savory 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 50594123 Dried Non-GMO savory is a Commodity code covering dried savory products used in institutional food service and school nutrition programs. State and local governments procure these items as components of broader food supply contracts serving correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school districts. The code does not appear as a standalone procurement line; rather, dried savory items surface within larger food and consumables solicitations that bundle fresh, frozen, dry, and specialty foods together under institutional meal-service contracts.

Recent activity across this code concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide—IFB HHS0016792V2 (posted May 19, 2026, due March 19, 2026) and HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026)—each covering 210 line items spanning bread, proteins, dairy, frozen foods, and condiments with contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T26300CF, posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026) across approximately 382 line items for TDCJ warehouse distribution. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia are actively procuring grocery and food supply services: the Douglas County School System issued RFPs for food supply and distribution (posted January 21, 2026) and fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items for the 2026–27 school year (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items; and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia issued an IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) to supply 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The State of Georgia posted a broad food and supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026), and the State of Illinois solicited a quarterly weekly food order (27497DVAQUINCB52821, posted June 18, 2026, due June 26, 2026). All visible opportunities are IFB or RFP procurements with firm, fixed pricing and multi-year terms; evaluation typically prioritizes specification compliance, delivery capability, vendor performance history, and price.
