UNSPSC 50622600: Non GMO cauliflower purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO cauliflowers. 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 50622600 Non GMO cauliflower purees, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code solicitate shelf-stable packaged food products, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy items, canned vegetables, and food service supplies for institutional food service operations—not cauliflower purees of any kind, GMO status or otherwise. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests the code has limited relevance for vendors specializing in non-GMO cauliflower puree products.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' school nutrition food bid requiring multiple fresh and frozen produce categories and meat products (bids due June 15, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional solicitations from Illinois. The underlying procurement pattern—institutional bulk food service supply—dominates across all jurisdictions, but cauliflower purees do not appear as line items in any posted opportunity.
