UNSPSC 50622003: Non GMO broccoli raab purees

The variety of Non GMO broccoli known as Non GMO broccoli raab. 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 50622003 Non GMO broccoli raab purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty vegetable purees with non-GMO certification—diverges markedly from the actual work being solicited under related food procurement codes in the recent-opportunities dataset. Instead, state and local jurisdictions are actively buying broad-based grocery and food-service supplies, fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods to serve correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and state employee dining programs. The recent solicitation mix shows school districts and state agencies repeatedly issuing competitive bids and RFPs for multi-category food procurement covering hundreds of line items at annual values ranging from roughly $1.5 million to $9 million, but none of the posted opportunities name non-GMO vegetable purees or specialty produce purees as a line item or requirement.

State agencies in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Georgia (State of Georgia, Douglas County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Burke County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District) dominate the recent activity, with school nutrition programs and state facility food services accounting for the majority of opportunities. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables, response due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (response due April 6, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative (response due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million). These jurisdictions consistently require firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, USDA grade specifications, HACCP food-safety plans, and broad responsiveness across dozens or hundreds of line items. The code shows no relevant recent opportunity activity and does not warrant pursuit under current market conditions.
