UNSPSC 50596850: Dried Non GMO purslane

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO purslane 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 50596850 Dried Non GMO purslane, a Commodity code, has generated no recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities in the block are tagged with this code but solicit broadly across grocery items, fresh produce, food service supplies, and meal delivery — none of which involve dried non-GMO purslane or specialty dried vegetables as a line item. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual work being bought under the opportunities posted.

The state and local procurement activity in this block centers on school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply across school districts in Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Florida; county boards of education; city purchasing departments; and state health and human services agencies. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' solicitation for over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026); the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperating school districts in Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' solicitation for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated contract value of $17,832,659.90 over three years (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026). These procurements consistently require Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, nutritional compliance, and firm fixed pricing. Dried non-GMO purslane does not appear as a specified or requested item in any of the solicitations posted, indicating this Commodity code carries no active state or local demand signal at this time.
