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 is a Commodity code. State and local governments show minimal recent procurement activity under this code. The single recent opportunity on file — a City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases grocery bid (BNB052266) due June 30, 2026 — does not reference dried lily bulbs or any horticultural inputs; the scope covers over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, beverages, and meat products for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, all subject to National School Lunch Program and Buy American requirements with 51 percent domestic agricultural content. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests dried non-GMO lily bulbs do not appear in typical state and local procurement flows.

The broader recent opportunities in the dataset — covering fresh produce (Hancock County Board of Education), food and consumable products (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), senior meal preparation and delivery (Hillsborough County, Florida), and packaged meal boxes (Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Mississippi) — confirm that state and local food procurement focuses on conventional nutritional goods for school lunch programs, state facilities, senior services, and emergency food programs. Dried specialty bulbs or horticultural commodities do not surface in these school, county, state, or special-purpose district solicitations, indicating this code sees no meaningful procurement activity at the state and local level.
