UNSPSC 50595704: Dried Non GMO marian rutabagas

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO marian rutabagas 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 50595704 Dried Non GMO marian rutabagas is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual work state and local governments are currently soliciting under this taxonomy entry. The recent opportunities in the source are tagged to this code but span comprehensive school nutrition procurement, senior meal delivery, and institutional food service — encompassing fresh produce, groceries, proteins, dairy, beverages, and prepared meals — rather than dried rutabagas or any single specialty vegetable. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the posted solicitations suggests either a data-entry error in the taxonomy assignment or a structural misclassification in the state and local procurement system. None of the recent opportunities reference dried rutabagas, marian varieties, or non-GMO certification as a line item.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Meriden Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District) and local health agencies (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners for senior meals, Texas Health and Human Services Commission for a state-supported living center, City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education). Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and Mississippi, with school nutrition contracts dominating the pipeline. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for grocery supply and delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens; the Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026) for approximately $9 million in annual food products and cold storage across 32 schools; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' Senior Meals Preparation and Delivery Services (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026) for $17.8 million over three years serving congregate and home-delivery meal programs. This code shows no relevant recent activity and should not be relied upon for business development targeting state and local food procurement.
