UNSPSC 50622704: Non GMO french dinant celery purees

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO french dinant 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 50622704 Non GMO french dinant celery purees, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity that bears only incidental connection to the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting celery purees or related vegetable purees. Instead, the code appears in the dataset alongside a broad collection of food service and grocery procurement opportunities — school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, and state hospitals — that reflect state and local governments' general food purchasing across multiple product categories. The actual work being solicited under this code cannot be characterized reliably from the available records, as no recent bid or RFP has named celery purees as a line item, requirement, or deliverable.

State and local issuing bodies that manage food procurement across the jurisdictions sampled — including school districts in Georgia (Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Burke County, Ben Hill County, Douglas County, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County), Texas (TDCJ, HHSC), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Georgia (various multi-district cooperatives) — are actively seeking fresh produce, frozen vegetables, canned goods, and prepared foods. However, these solicitations reference produce, canned tomatoes, frozen vegetables, and bulk grocery staples rather than specialized purees. The mismatch between the code designation and the recent opportunities suggests that either the code is rarely applied in practice, or that when applied, the associated solicitations are not reflected in the current dataset. A business development professional evaluating pursuit decisions under this code should treat it as dormant based on available evidence and investigate whether state and local procurement offices are tagging celery puree purchases under alternative food commodity codes.
