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 that in recent state and local solicitations covers shelf-stable and fresh produce items procured for institutional food service operations, though the specific product (non-GMO celeriac puree) does not appear in the recent opportunities block. State and local buyers using this code span state health and human services agencies, county and city food service programs, school districts, and corrections departments. The work under related produce and food categories involves competitive bidding for bulk food supplies with firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery terms, detailed USDA grade and specification compliance, and vendor performance verification through references and past-performance tracking systems. Issuing bodies typically require submission of pricing sheets, product certifications, proof of insurance, debarment status, E-Verify compliance, and detailed product identification and nutritional labeling. Contracts commonly run 12 months with optional renewal periods, quantities specified in cases or truck loads, and delivery windows ranging from 30 to 72 hours after order placement.

The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for non-GMO celeriac purees. Recent food and produce procurement activity under related UNSPSC codes centers on Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, State of Georgia), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections). Representative solicitations include the Texas HHS Lufkin State Supported Living Center food bid (IFB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026) covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomatoes procurement (7,616 cases, bids due June 19, 2026, prior award $13.75 per case); and the Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB (304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items across five distribution points. The absence of non-GMO celeriac puree in recent postings suggests limited current demand under this Commodity code in state and local procurement.
