UNSPSC 50621506: Non GMO midi artichoke purees

The variety of Non GMO artichokes known as Non GMO midi artichokes. 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 50621506 Non GMO midi artichoke purees, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains multiple food-service solicitations from school districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions, and state veterans homes, but none of them name artichoke purees—whether GMO or non-GMO, midi-sized or otherwise—as a line item, specification requirement, or product family. The opportunities instead cover broad food service categories (fresh produce, canned tomatoes, general grocery items, proteins, dairy) and itemized ingredient lists from which artichoke products are absent.

State and local procurement activity under related food-service categories remains concentrated in school nutrition programs (particularly Georgia and Missouri school districts), state-operated facilities (Texas HHSC and DSHS hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Homes), and related institutional food service. The recent solicitations are weighted toward fresh and frozen vegetables, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared items rather than specialty or processed vegetable purees. No opportunities posted since late January 2026 reference artichoke purees at any specification level. The code appears dormant for state and local procurement purposes, or artichoke purees are purchased under broader commodity codes such as general produce or canned vegetable categories rather than as a named specialty item. Business development professionals should verify whether customers source this product under alternate UNSPSC classifications or through cooperative purchasing vehicles before pursuing this code.
