UNSPSC 50596824: Dried Non GMO diakon

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO diakon 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 50596824 Dried Non GMO diakon (Commodity) does not reflect active state and local procurement activity. The available state and local opportunities tagged under this code center on school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply across districts and municipal agencies, but none of the recent solicitations identify dried non-GMO diakon as a distinct line item or procurement focus. The code's nominal scope—a specialty agricultural commodity—does not align with the broader grocery and produce supply contracts documented in the source. State and local buyers under related food-service codes are soliciting comprehensive grocery baskets, fresh produce, meal preparation services, and staple items through school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System), county governments (Hillsborough County Commission), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia). Buy American provisions are standard across solicitations, and pricing remains firm for contract periods with no fuel or freight surcharges permitted.

Recent procurement activity under this commodity cluster spans school nutrition procurement (Meriden Public Schools RFP released January 28, 2026 with proposals due February 25, 2026 for approximately $3.1 million in annual commercial groceries and USDA Foods; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026 for K-12 master grocery supply across 45 schools; Bulloch County Board of Education IFB #043025 due May 4, 2026 for 2026-2027 comprehensive food products), fresh produce contracts (Hancock County Board of Education IFB due June 26, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 due April 23, 2026 for 72 fresh-produce line items; Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 due March 4, 2026 for approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas), institutional food service (Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 due July 11, 2026 for El Paso State Supported Living Center with prior-year spend of $1.5 million; Hillsborough County Commission ITB-26-00289 due June 25, 2026 for senior meal preparation and delivery with estimated three-year value of $17.8 million), and ad hoc meal delivery (City of Dallas RFCSP due March 27, 2026 for boxed and bulk meal delivery across city events and trainings). Geographic concentration in recent postings appears strongest in Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement) and Florida, with active bidding across Connecticut, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. The code shows limited relevance to current state and local opportunity flow.
