UNSPSC 50596836: Dried Non GMO lily bulb

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO lily bulb 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 50596836 Dried Non GMO lily bulb, a Commodity code, does not match the scope of recent state and local contract opportunities. The code nominally covers dried horticultural bulbs, yet the recent opportunities block contains no procurement activity for lily bulbs or similar botanical products. Instead, the tagged opportunities overwhelmingly solicit food and meal services—school nutrition grocery supply (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Meriden Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), fresh produce for schools and state institutions (Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia, DCSD), senior meal preparation and delivery (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), food and consumable products for state-supported living centers (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and catered meal delivery for city events (City of Dallas). These opportunities represent school food authorities, county commissioners, state health and human services agencies, and municipal procurement offices—a mix anchored in K–12 school nutrition and institutional food service. The code appears to be a classification error in the source data, as dried lily bulbs have no relevance to any of the solicitations displayed.

No opportunities in the recent record support procurement activity under UNSPSC 50596836. The code shows no decision-relevant activity for vendors pursuing state and local contracts.
