UNSPSC 50622000: Non GMO broccoli purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO broccoli. 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 50622000 Non GMO broccoli purees is a Class code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing shelf-stable and prepared food products to supply institutional food service operations — primarily state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services departments. Recent opportunities show that broccoli purees and related vegetable products are acquired as components of broader food procurement bundles rather than as standalone line items; the code's nominal scope reflects a narrow commodity within much larger consumables contracts that span proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, fresh produce, frozen items, and food service supplies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and state comptroller procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears repeatedly as a major buyer, posting multiple IFBs for food and consumable products across its state supported living centers.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (bids due October 23, 2026) for consumables for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 24 cases per item and F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days of order. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026 (quotes due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces for senior services delivery. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB on May 19, 2026 (bids due June 15, 2026) for school nutrition food across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared items for four school locations, with Buy American Act compliance required and quarterly price adjustment permitted. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division posted an IFB on June 5, 2026 (bids due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, offering 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-resident bidders.
