UNSPSC 50621604: Non GMO lucullus asparagus purees

The variety of Non GMO asparagus known as Non GMO lucullus 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 50621604 Non GMO lucullus asparagus purees is a Commodity code that sees limited recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect a coherent market for asparagus purees; instead, they reflect broad institutional food procurement where this code appears as a catch-all classification for miscellaneous produce or prepared food items. State and local buyers soliciting under the code are primarily school districts, state health and human services agencies, and departments of corrections across multiple states, each seeking to supply student meals, institutional residents, and incarcerated populations. The work actually being procured—fresh produce, canned and frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees—spans categories well beyond asparagus purees and suggests that the code has been applied to general food-service solicitations rather than targeting a specific asparagus product line.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Oregon, with notable repeat buyers including school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois Veterans Homes), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (response due April 27, 2026). The code shows routine activity in institutional food supply but does not isolate a distinct market for asparagus purees themselves, making category-specific positioning difficult without clarification of actual demand or code application by the issuing bodies.
