UNSPSC 50596823: Dried Non GMO dau mue or pea tips

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO dau mue or pea tips 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 50596823 Dried Non GMO dau mue or pea tips is a Commodity code nominally describing a specialty dried vegetable product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with that narrow scope. The most recent solicitations address broad school nutrition and senior meal services — fresh produce procurement, packaged meal boxes, senior meal preparation and delivery, and general grocery items — rather than dried pea tips specifically. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple district-level food-service solicitations posted in the April-to-June 2026 window.

Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi based on the recent opportunities, with school district procurement concentrated in the Southeast and mid-South regions. Representative recent solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items with a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, requiring Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic agricultural content) and delivery to central warehouse and school sites; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026 and contract start July 1, 2026; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated contract value of $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB (HHS0017449) for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical value of $1.5 million and bids due July 13, 2026, also falls under the code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests the code may be broadly applied to food-service categories or may represent a data-classification artifact; practitioners should verify code alignment directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities.
