UNSPSC 50622602: Non GMO alverda cauliflower purees

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO alverda 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 50622602 Non GMO alverda cauliflower purees is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no directly matched recent opportunities; the most recent opportunities in the source block are broad-scope food and produce solicitations from school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, fresh produce, canned goods, and prepared foods, but none specifically name cauliflower purees or similar specialty vegetable products. The opportunities instead emphasize bulk commodity procurement across multiple food categories, with evaluation focused on lowest responsive bidding, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, Buy American requirements, and vendor performance history.

State and local buying under general food codes occurs across school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state-supported facilities (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs conducting annual RFPs and IFBs for fixed-term contracts (typically July-June fiscal years) and state correctional and health agencies issuing ITBs for quarterly or annual supply needs. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at state supported living centers (response due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections canned-tomato ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases (due June 19, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 covering grocery delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). The code as currently tagged does not align with the actual procurement activity observed; specialty vegetable purees represent a narrow product line unlikely to drive significant state and local contracting volume.
