UNSPSC 50595811: Dried Non GMO sea kale

The variety of Non GMO sea vegetables known as Non GMO sea kale 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 50595811 Dried Non GMO sea kale is a Commodity code that nominally names a single agricultural product, but the recent state and local opportunities do not support active procurement of dried sea kale specifically. The sourced opportunities span a broad swath of food service procurement — grocery items for school nutrition programs, fresh produce for school meal services, prepared senior meals for county congregate and home-delivery programs, general food and consumable products for state-supported facilities, and packaged meal boxes for summer food service — but none explicitly name dried sea kale or position it as a line item. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), a county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), a state health and human services agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and a state procurement office (State of Georgia). The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted under or near this code do not signal active demand for dried non-GMO sea kale as a standalone procurable good.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest — recent solicitations are posted by jurisdictions in Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and Texas — though the State of Georgia procurement (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026) provides only a reference to an attached document without scope detail. The representative opportunities span school nutrition contracts with response dates in late June 2026 (Bridgeport IFB due June 30, Hancock County IFB due June 26) and a Hillsborough County senior meals contract (ITB due June 25, 2026, with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million). None of these solicitations positions dried sea kale as a distinct procurement line or identifies it as a required ingredient or specification. Unless state and local buyers are sourcing dried sea kale under the broader grocery or produce categories without tagging it to this specific code, activity under UNSPSC 50595811 itself does not warrant pursuit at this time.
