UNSPSC 50622402: Non GMO gobbi cardoon purees

The variety of Non GMO cardoons known as Non GMO gobbi cardoons. 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 50622402 Non GMO gobbi cardoon purees is a Commodity code that does not show relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged with this code—the Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food order (solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026)—is a general weekly food procurement covering 24 line items of diverse food products and does not specifically solicit cardoon purees or items matching this code's narrow scope. The source contains no evidence of state or local governments actively procuring non-GMO gobbi cardoon purees as a standalone product or in quantities that would signal sustained demand under this Commodity code.

Across the broader food procurement activity in the source, state and local issuing bodies—primarily school districts and corrections departments in Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Oregon, Texas, and Virginia—are regularly soliciting fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs with response dates between February and July 2026. These solicitations reflect routine child nutrition programs, state health facility supply chains, and correctional facility food service operations, but none target specialty produce items like cardoon purees. The geographic spread and volume of general food procurement does not extend to this Commodity code's specialized product line.
