UNSPSC 50622300: Non GMO cabbage purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO cabbages. 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 50622300 Non GMO cabbage purees is a Class code that does not map clearly to the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code's nominal scope—non-GMO cabbage purees as a specific commodity—diverges substantially from the work actually being solicited: state and local governments are buying broad food supply contracts spanning hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, consumables, and kitchen supplies for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health and human services centers, and veterans' homes. The opportunities represent general food service procurement, not cabbage purees specifically. The issuing bodies span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments of corrections and health services (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy), and other state agencies (State of Georgia, State of Illinois). School districts dominate the activity, with multiple Georgia school districts and Missouri school districts appearing across the recent opportunities.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 (historical value $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes with bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST (approximately 7,616 cases required); Ben Hill County Schools issuing IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products with bids due June 15, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. (spanning multiple categories with deliveries to four school locations); and Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 term supply with bids due April 27, 2026 (covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens). The code shows substantial activity but little relevance to non-GMO cabbage purees as a discrete commodity line.
