UNSPSC 50594612: Dried Non GMO chinese lettuces

The variety of Non GMO lettuce known as Non GMO chinese lettuces 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 50594612 Dried Non GMO chinese lettuces is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes dried non-GMO Chinese lettuces, but state and local governments do not appear to be soliciting this specific product through posted opportunities. Instead, recent solicitations tagged under related food service codes address fresh produce, comprehensive grocery procurement, and meal preparation services across school districts, county health authorities, and municipal food programs.

The code shows no relevant recent opportunities. State and local procurement in the fresh produce and grocery space focuses on fresh items—apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, and tomatoes—and bulk food supply contracts for K–12 nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food facilities, rather than dried specialty lettuces. The recent opportunities in the dataset span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools), state health authorities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, Douglas County School System), county commissioners (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), municipalities (City of Bridgeport, City of Dallas, City of Meriden), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative), with the heaviest activity in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Virginia, and Mississippi. If your firm targets state and local food service procurement, monitor fresh produce and comprehensive grocery codes rather than this dried-specialty commodity, which does not appear in current state or local solicitation activity.
