UNSPSC 50596802: Dried Non GMO aloe leaves

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO aloe leaves 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 50596802 Dried Non GMO aloe leaves (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity under this code. The recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code reflect broader food and nutrition procurement across school districts, county health services, and municipal purchasing departments—breakfast items, fresh produce, senior meals, and kitchen supplies—but none identify dried aloe leaves as a line item or scope element. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery-items IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce bid (SY27, due June 26, 2026) span over 1,100 and 200 line items respectively, with detailed nutritional and sourcing requirements, yet neither references aloe leaves. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center carries a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million but does not itemize specialized botanical products.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities are school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier in Mississippi), a county health authority (Hillsborough County, Florida's senior meals service at $17.8 million over three years), and a state health services commission (Texas HHSC), with activity concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. The code itself appears misaligned with actual procurement patterns—state and local governments source dried aloe leaves at insignificant volume relative to the broader commodity categories into which they fall. Practitioners should verify whether the code assignment reflects data-entry error or a genuinely sparse procurement segment. No representative opportunities targeting this Commodity exist in the recent record.
