UNSPSC 50622301: Non GMO black cabbage purees

The variety of Non GMO cabbages known as Non GMO black cabbage. 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 50622301 Non GMO black cabbage purees is a Commodity code that describes specialty produce purees intended for institutional food service, though recent state and local contract activity under this specific code shows little direct procurement activity for the product as named. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve broad institutional food and consumable purchasing by state agencies, county governments, school districts, and state-supported living centers, where cabbage purees would represent one line item among hundreds spanning proteins, dairy, frozen items, condiments, canned goods, and food service supplies. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which operates state supported living centers and state hospitals), county boards of commissioners, school nutrition programs, state departments of corrections, and state comptroller procurement divisions acting on behalf of corrections and other agencies. The scope of work under this code in practice encompasses food service fulfillment for institutional populations—inmates, residents of state-supported living centers, schoolchildren, and hospital patients—where vendors supply shelf-stable and specialty processed foods on firm, fixed-price contracts with delivery obligations typically ranging from 24 to 72 hours after order placement, often with renewal options spanning one to four years.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the most significant recent solicitation volume in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017872 for consumables and food items at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bid due August 25, 2026), encompassing 20 line items of food products and food service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, and pasta (informal written quote due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with previous pricing at $13.75 per case and Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated goods preferences at 5 percent. Vendors pursuing this code should anticipate competitive sealed-bid and informal quote processes requiring firm, fixed unit pricing on F.O.B. Destination terms, submission of three verifiable references, compliance with Buy American Act provisions (for school nutrition programs), HACCP and food safety certifications, and surety or liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000.
