UNSPSC 50622604: Non GMO dok elgon cauliflower purees

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO dok elgon 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 50622604 Non GMO dok elgon cauliflower purees is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a single specialized vegetable product—contrasts sharply with the actual opportunities posted under this taxonomy, which span broad categories of general food procurement for institutional feeding programs rather than single commodity lines.

Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show activity concentrated in school nutrition programs and correctional and health-and-human-services facilities across the South and Midwest. School districts including Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri have posted IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive grocery procurement covering dozens to hundreds of line items—proteins, dairy, fresh and frozen produce, grains, condiments, and supplies—rather than specialized items. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Illinois Veterans Home have similarly solicited broad food-supply contracts serving state facilities. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026, covering 45 schools and distribution kitchens). Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Texas (state health and human services and corrections facilities), Oregon (corrections), Illinois (veterans home), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Missouri (school district). These procurements are open competitive IFBs and RFPs with response windows typically 30 to 45 days, firm fixed pricing requirements, compliance with Buy American Act mandates where applicable, and awards to lowest responsive, responsible bidders or best-value selections. The code does not reflect a market for specialized single-item commodity procurement and appears to be a misclassified entry in state procurement systems that index broad institutional food service buying under overly narrow taxonomy codes.
