UNSPSC 50596845: Dried Non GMO moo

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO moo 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 50596845 Dried Non GMO moo, a Commodity code, covers dried food products sourced from non-genetically modified organisms, procured by state and local governments primarily to support school nutrition programs and institutional meal services. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect a broader pattern of procurement for food service operations — school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners source dried and processed food items alongside fresh produce, packaged meals, and complete meal-service contracts. The work entails meeting Buy American agricultural content thresholds (typically 51 percent domestic ingredients in processed products), adhering to nutrition standards such as the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, providing nutritional labeling and allergen compliance, maintaining cold-chain or dry-storage logistics to school and institutional sites, and submitting to blind testing and health inspection documentation. Vendors must carry substantial general liability and products liability insurance, execute USDA compliance statements, and in some cases maintain HACCP plans and 24/7 recall accessibility.

The recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, with activity documented in Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi between April and July 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (including dried goods, cereals, and processed foods) for the Bridgeport Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services Department, due June 30, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical monthly value around $1.5 million, due July 11, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (emphasizing local geographic delivery to three school sites) due June 26, 2026; and the State of Georgia's May 2026 solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. School districts and county education boards dominate the issuing body mix, though state health and human services agencies and county commissioners' offices also procure under or related to this code.
