UNSPSC 50596821: Dried Non GMO dandelions

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO dandelions 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 50596821 Dried Non GMO dandelions, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged with this code—Bridgeport Board of Education's BNB052266 solicitation for over 1,100 grocery line items spanning breakfast cereals, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meats—does not include dried non-GMO dandelions or any botanical ingredient matching the code's nominal scope. The remaining recent opportunities across the dataset address fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), packaged meals, grocery distribution, eggs, and senior meal services, none of which align with the commodity definition. This code does not map to active state and local purchasing.

Procurement activity under related broader codes—fresh produce (UNSPSC class codes like 50221600) and grocery supplies (UNSPSC family 50590000)—is robust and spans school districts, state agencies, and county governments in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi. School nutrition programs drive the largest volume, with solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (RFP for Master Grocery K-12, April 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (fresh produce, March 2026), Douglas County School System (food supply and fresh produce RFPs, January–February 2026), and Bulloch County Board of Education (school nutrition grocery, April 2026). State agencies and county commissions also solicit regularly—the State of Georgia issued fresh produce and food supplies bids (May–April 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (June 2026), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners solicited senior meal services (June 2026, estimated value $17.8 million over three years). Vendors pursuing dried non-GMO dandelions should monitor broader grocery and specialty produce codes; this specific commodity code remains inactive in state and local procurement.
