UNSPSC 50606841: Frozen Non GMO maguey leaves

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO maguey leaves 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 50606841 Frozen Non GMO maguey leaves is a Commodity code with virtually no recent activity in state and local procurement. The eight recent opportunities tagged with this code — spanning Georgia school districts, Dallas Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and state purchasing offices — solicited comprehensive food service procurement across fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, grains, meats, and miscellaneous grocery items for school nutrition programs and state operations. None of the opportunities actually specified maguey leaves, frozen or otherwise, or named the code's nominal scope. The source shows no evidence that state and local governments are currently buying frozen maguey leaves under this code.

The recent activity instead reflects broad school nutrition and food service procurement across Georgia (Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Texas (Dallas ISD), and state-level food purchasing (Georgia Department of Education). Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies, with solicitations using RFP and IFB notice types and response windows spanning February through June 2026. School districts emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, E-Verify authorization, liability insurance, and firm pricing with quarterly or semiannual adjustment caps tied to USDA or CPI data. The code appears misaligned with actual procurement demand in the state and local market.
