UNSPSC 50595814: Dried Non GMO spirulina

The variety of Non GMO sea vegetables known as Non GMO spirulina 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 50595814 Dried Non GMO spirulina is a Commodity code with little recent activity directly aligned to its stated scope. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting dried non-GMO spirulina as a standalone product line under current procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span comprehensive school nutrition programs, senior meal services, fresh produce contracts, and grocery supply agreements—none of which isolate or prioritize spirulina as a line item or procurement driver. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity designation and the broad food-service scope of actual solicitations suggests either misclassification in issuing offices or that spirulina, if procured at all, flows through master grocery or produce agreements rather than targeted bids.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the recent posting activity, with solicitations from Bridgeport (Connecticut), Fairfax County (Virginia), Bulloch County (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), Douglas County (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier (Mississippi), and Hancock County (Georgia) all seeking food products for child nutrition programs. State agencies in Georgia and Texas, and cities including Dallas and Meriden (Connecticut) also appear. Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, with secondary clusters in Connecticut, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Bridgeport's grocery items RFB (due June 30, 2026) covering 1,100+ line items with firm pricing and Buy American compliance; Fairfax County's Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45+ schools with a three-year renewable term; and Douglas County's food supply and distribution RFP (due February 18, 2026) for approximately $9 million annually across 32 schools. The code shows no current pursuit signal for business development professionals focused on spirulina specifically.
