UNSPSC 50596841: Dried Non GMO maguey leaves

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO maguey leaves 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 50596841 Dried Non GMO maguey leaves, a Commodity code, shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's abstract scope—agricultural specialty leaves used in traditional or niche food preparation—does not align with the structure or content of the recent opportunities tagged to it in state and local systems. The most recent record posting under this code is the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery solicitation (BNB052266), which spans over 1,100 line items across mainstream breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, and beverages for school lunch operations—categories that do not include specialty plant leaves. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's El Paso facility food service RFB (HHS0017449), the Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013), the Hillsborough County senior meals ITB (ITB2600289), the State of Georgia food supplies IFB (PE55645NONST2026000000009), and the remaining school nutrition and institutional food service solicitations similarly reflect broad commodity purchasing for mainstream institutional meal service, not specialty or botanical product procurement.

The mismatch between the Commodity code's stated product category and the actual content of tagged opportunities suggests either a classification error in the procurement system or that maguey leaves are rarely, if ever, a line item in state and local institutional food service. Buyers pursuing this code face a signal of minimal or no actual demand. If maguey-leaf products do appear in state and local RFPs, they are likely listed as minor line items within general grocery or specialty ingredient solicitations rather than driving standalone procurement activity. Vendors specializing in dried, non-GMO maguey leaves should search for opportunities using broader grocery or specialty ingredient codes rather than relying on this Commodity designation to surface relevant work.
