UNSPSC 50622700: Non GMO celery purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO celery. 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 50622700 Non GMO celery purees is a Class code that encompasses fresh and processed vegetable products procured by state and local nutrition programs, correction facilities, health and human services agencies, and school districts for food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing broad food-service supplies under codes nominally narrower than the actual scope of work — the opportunities tagged to this code span canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, frozen entrees, dairy products, proteins, and comprehensive grocery items rather than celery purees specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Ben Hill County Schools, alongside state departments such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and Georgia Department of Corrections. State supported living centers and correctional facilities round out the buyer base.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with prominent recent opportunities in Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Burke County, Ben Hill County), Texas (HHSC statewide, Department of Criminal Justice), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois (Veterans Home Quincy). Representative recent procurements include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for 76-plus line items serving 45 schools with firm pricing for July 2026 through June 2027; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Supplemental Food & Consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; the Douglas County School System RFP for Food Supply and Distribution (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026) with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million serving approximately 25,500 students; and the Ben Hill County Schools food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026) covering fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and furnishings across four school locations. Buy American provisions, HACCP plan compliance, and USDA grade certifications appear across nearly all solicitations; contract values where disclosed range from $1.5 million (Texas HHSC El Paso center) to $9 million (Douglas County food distribution), with pricing typically firm for initial terms and subject to market-index adjustments thereafter.
