UNSPSC 50596860: Dried Non GMO tendergreen

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO tendergreen 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 50596860 Dried Non GMO tendergreen, a Commodity code, does not map to significant recent state and local procurement activity. The source includes sixteen recent opportunities tagged across food service procurement, but none directly solicits dried non-GMO tendergreens as a named line item or primary product category. The opportunities span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts that encompass broad grocery categories—fresh produce, frozen items, canned vegetables, and processed foods—but dried specialty vegetables are not surfaced as standalone procurement targets in any of the recent solicitations reviewed.

State and local food service buyers active in this period include school districts (Bridgeport, Fairfax County, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County, Douglas County, Hancock County, Pascagoula-Gautier, Meriden), counties (Hillsborough), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services, Georgia), and cities (Dallas). Dried non-GMO tendergreens, if procured at all, would appear as one line item within broader fresh or frozen vegetable categories embedded in master grocery or produce contracts, not as the primary focus of a solicitation. The code sees no dedicated recent procurement notice and appears inactive at the state and local level as a discrete purchasing target.
