UNSPSC 50594125: Dried Non GMO thyme

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO thyme 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 50594125 Dried Non GMO thyme, a Commodity code, does not see active procurement at the state and local level. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried thyme or thyme-based ingredients; instead, the available records show state and local governments purchasing broad grocery and food-service categories including fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, frozen entrees, and consumable supplies for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. One entry (IW240463) describes water infrastructure services unrelated to food procurement. The code's narrow commodity scope—a single dried herb—sits outside the typical aggregated purchasing patterns of state and local food-service operations, which buy thyme as part of larger ingredient or spice bundles rather than as a line-item commodity.

No recent state or local solicitations specifically name dried thyme, thyme products, or thyme-equivalent items. Firms targeting this code should monitor school district nutrition RFPs, state health and human services food-supply contracts, and correctional food-service procurement in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, where recent activity is concentrated; however, the absence of standalone thyme procurement signals either bundled purchasing through larger food-supply vendors or minimal state and local demand for this specific commodity in recent cycles.
