UNSPSC 50606821: Frozen Non GMO dandelions

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO dandelions that have been frozen 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 50606821 Frozen Non GMO Dandelions is a Commodity code. State and local governments show minimal procurement activity under this code. The recent opportunities block does not contain any solicitations specifically for frozen non-GMO dandelions or close variants. The few references to frozen produce in the recent opportunities relate to broader frozen foods and grocery procurement (such as the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items), but none target dandelions as a line item or primary scope. The code appears to address a highly specialized agricultural commodity that does not feature prominently in state and local school nutrition, institutional feeding, or general procurement activity as currently documented.

The source provides no evidence of issuing bodies soliciting frozen non-GMO dandelions as a standalone product or as a component of multi-item produce or grocery contracts. School nutrition programs and food service operations across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas—the jurisdictions with the densest recent activity in the source—focus on mainstream produce (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens), frozen mainstream foods, and packaged grocery items, but do not name dandelions among their sourced items. Without documented recent opportunities targeting this commodity, there is no basis to characterize geographic concentration, issuing-body mix, or representative solicitations under this code.
