UNSPSC 50594622: Dried Non GMO russian red mustard lettuce

The variety of Non GMO lettuce known as Non GMO russian red mustard lettuce 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 50594622 Dried Non GMO russian red mustard lettuce, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The most recently posted opportunities tagged under this code do not involve dried mustard lettuce or similar specialty produce items; instead, they cover broad fresh produce sourcing, comprehensive grocery supply for school nutrition programs, and meal preparation services for senior meal programs and institutional food service. The disconnect between the code's narrow commodity scope and the actual solicitations suggests either miscoding of opportunities in the source data or minimal recent demand for this specific product.

State and local procurement activity in the broader fresh produce and grocery categories — into which dried specialty greens might tangentially fit — is concentrated among school districts, county boards of education, and regional school nutrition cooperatives across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, and Texas. Recent solicitations from Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) all solicited fresh produce and comprehensive grocery supplies under IFB and RFP notice types with response dates between late February and late June 2026, typically requiring firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content where applicable), HACCP food safety plans, and delivery to multiple school sites on weekly schedules. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida also posted food service procurement opportunities. Absent a recent solicitation explicitly requesting dried mustard lettuce or similar specialty dried greens, pursue this code only if your firm has existing relationships with school nutrition directors or institutional food service buyers and can demonstrate supply capability for ancillary specialty produce items within broader grocery awards.
