UNSPSC 50622702: Non GMO celeriac purees

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO celeriac. 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 50622702 Non GMO celeriac purees is a Commodity code; state and local governments buy celeriac puree products—branded or equivalent—primarily through school nutrition and institutional food service procurement, though recent opportunities show minimal direct solicitation for this specific item. Instead, celeriac appears as a line item within broader food supply contracts where schools, state health agencies, and correctional facilities source vegetables and produce staples for meal programs. The recent opportunities block contains no dedicated solicitation for celeriac purees alone; the code shows activity only tangentially through general produce and fresh vegetable line items in multi-category food bids. Issuing bodies across recent posts include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Douglas County School System, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District), and county school nutrition programs. Geographic activity spans Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri, with school districts representing the largest volume of food procurement.

The code shows limited direct recent activity for non-GMO celeriac purees as a standalone commodity. No dedicated RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB for this specific product appears in the recent opportunities block. Broader food procurement—such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026)—includes fresh and frozen produce line items where celeriac purees might be sourced, but none specifically name this commodity. The absence of dedicated celeriac solicitations suggests either minimal demand at the state and local level or incorporation into master grocery and produce contracts where pricing and specification remain embedded in broader line-item bids. Business development professionals pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition and institutional food service RFPs as aggregated opportunities rather than expect standalone vendor solicitations.
