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 is a Commodity code that nominally names a single processed-vegetable product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reveal little actual procurement activity for that specific item. The nine opportunities on file span food service broadly — consumables for state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, county community services, state corrections, and state health services — and they encompass dozens of distinct food categories and supply types: fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, prepared entrees, condiments, sauces, kitchen supplies, and paper goods. None of the recent solicitations name non-GMO broccoli raab purees as a line item or scope element. The issuing bodies include Texas state departments (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice, Comptroller of Public Accounts), Georgia school districts and county government (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Gwinnett County), state of Georgia general services, state of Illinois, state of Oregon (Department of Corrections), and individual state-supported living centers. These are primarily state health and human services agencies, school nutrition programs, and corrections departments buying commodity food for institutional canteens, cafeterias, and food service operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs — HHS0017872 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due August 25, 2026) and HHS0018082 for the same facility (bids due October 23, 2026) — requesting 20 to 22 line items of prepared foods and service supplies with annual quantities from 1 to 24 cases per item. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, bids due June 19, 2026) covering 7,616 cases. Georgia school districts have posted multiple food bids: Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (bids due June 5, 2026) each soliciting several hundred line items of fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods for school cafeterias across multiple campuses. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026). The code shows no recent procurement demand specifically tied to non-GMO broccoli raab purees; the apparent mismatch suggests the code is a tagging artifact rather than a reflection of active institutional demand under this commodity title.
