UNSPSC 50596851: Dried Non GMO raddichios

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO raddichios and 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 50596851 Dried Non GMO raddichio is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized produce items procured by state and local education and social-service agencies for food-service operations. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code reflect a much broader scope of food procurement spanning fresh produce, grocery staples, prepared meals, and consumable products rather than dried raddichio specifically. School districts, county boards of education, state health and human services departments, and county social-service agencies issue the solicitations, typically through IFB or ITB notices with firm-fixed pricing and Buy American provision compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products). Delivery schedules run Monday through Friday to central warehouses and designated school or facility sites on standard pallets with prepaid freight. Vendors must carry commercial general liability and products liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence, submit HACCP plans and health inspection records, pass blind laboratory testing on nutrition standards and specification compliance, and accept orders through school nutrition systems such as LINQ School Solutions.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program with response due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items with a one-year term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with response due July 13, 2026 and a historical annual value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with over 200 line items and response due June 26, 2026. Hillsborough County in Florida posted ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17,832,659.90 over three years, with response due June 25, 2026 and mandatory caterer licensure on the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs list. The code shows active, recurring procurement across multiple issuing bodies and states, though the mismatch between the code's nominal descriptor (dried non-GMO raddichio) and the actual scope of recent opportunities reflects broad tagging to aggregated food-service procurement.
