UNSPSC 50622002: Non GMO broccoli romanesco purees

The variety of Non GMO broccoli known as Non GMO broccoli romanesco. 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 50622002 Non GMO broccoli romanesco purees is a Commodity code that describes a narrow product line: pureed broccoli romanesco vegetables marketed as non-GMO. Recent state and local solicitations, however, do not reflect targeted procurement of this specific product. The opportunities tagged to this code include broad consumables food procurements—cafeteria supplies, kitchen products, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and shelf-stable staples for institutional food service operations spanning state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and county senior services programs. The code appears misaligned with actual buying patterns; the recent opportunities are generic food-service RFPs and IFBs that include hundreds of line items across multiple product categories rather than specialized pureed vegetable purchases. Issuing bodies are predominantly state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state agencies) and school districts or county boards of education (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). No vendor is systematically procuring non-GMO broccoli romanesco purees as a distinct line item in the visible recent opportunities.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), which encompassed food and consumable products across multiple NIGP classes with historical annual value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase price of $13.75 per case; Ben Hill County Schools' school nutrition food bid (due June 15, 2026) covering hundreds of line items across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods for four school locations; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments across five geographic warehouse areas. The code shows little relevant recent activity specifically targeting non-GMO broccoli romanesco purees as a standalone procurement.
