UNSPSC 50621600: Non GMO asparagus purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO asparagus. 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 50621600 Non GMO asparagus purees, a Class code, sees sparse recent activity in state and local procurement. The single opportunity in the recent record—the Illinois Veterans Home's quarterly food order (Solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, RFQ, due June 26, 2026)—does not specifically reference asparagus purees or non-GMO specifications; instead, it solicits a broad weekly food supply covering 24 line items of proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and vegetables. The code's nominal scope does not align with the work actually being bought under recent postings.

State and local food procurement activity overall remains robust across school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies—dominated by fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, and staple groceries sourced through IFBs and RFPs by school nutrition programs in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. However, the narrow commodity of non-GMO asparagus purees does not surface as a line item or stated requirement in any of the recent solicitations reviewed. Business development teams pursuing this code should monitor whether future opportunities tag it more accurately or whether the code's actual usage has drifted from its formal definition.
