UNSPSC 50622609: Non GMO purple cape cauliflower purees

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO purple cape 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 50622609 Non GMO purple cape cauliflower purees (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement rarely and under misaligned sourcing. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no actual procurement of non-GMO purple cape cauliflower purees; instead, they reflect broad food-service and school-nutrition purchasing across produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods. The code nominally targets a specific vegetable product, but the state and local market solicitations captured under it span general grocery supply, fresh produce, eggs, canned goods, and consumable supplies for institutional food service—categories far broader than a single puree variety. This suggests either tagging misalignment in the jurisdictions' procurement systems or the code's limited real-world use in state and local contracting.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia procurement), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools), and specialized facilities such as state-supported living centers. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, with additional activity in Illinois, Virginia, and multi-state cooperative arrangements. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato and tomato paste bids (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, and ITB S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026), and multiple school nutrition RFPs from Georgia systems (Muscogee County's fresh produce bid ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026; Liberty County's food procurement IFB, due April 29, 2026). None of these solicitations name non-GMO purple cape cauliflower purees as a line item; the code shows little relevant recent activity and does not align with the work actually being bought.
