UNSPSC 50622701: Non GMO celebrity celery purees

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO celebrity 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 50622701 Non GMO celebrity celery purees, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under it. The most recent opportunities solicited under this code span fresh produce procurement, canned goods, bread and bakery items, dairy products, proteins, condiments, and complete food service supply for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and state supported living centers — none of which target celery purees or specialty vegetable purees specifically. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the underlying procurement system or that this code's nominal scope has drifted from what state and local governments are actually buying.

Recent solicitations tagged to this code originate from school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Burke County Public Schools in Missouri and Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia Department of Education), and county-level authorities across the South and Midwest. The geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri, with the heaviest recent activity in Georgia school districts and Texas state health and human services facilities. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026). None of these solicitations target celery purees or similar specialty vegetable products, indicating that this code's current procurement activity bears no relation to its stated commodity definition.
