UNSPSC 50622706: Non GMO giant red celery purees

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO giant red 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 50622706 Non GMO giant red celery purees (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity; the code shows no relevant solicitations in the dataset. State and local governments buying under related produce and food-service codes are soliciting canned tomatoes, fresh produce (including celery and other vegetables), and broad grocery categories for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state health and human services agencies, but no opportunities specifically name non-GMO giant red celery purees as a line item or scope element. The recent opportunities block contains two dozen food-service solicitations spanning Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri — covering school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County Schools), state corrections facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and individual school nutrition programs — but none explicitly reference celery purees, whether GMO or non-GMO, as a procurement need.

The mismatch between the code's narrow product specification and the breadth of actual state and local food procurement suggests either a data-entry error in the code assignment or that this particular commodity lies outside current procurement demand. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether state and local menu planning in the jurisdictions they target actually calls for non-GMO celery purees as a finished ingredient or prepared item, or whether sourcing opportunities exist only as bulk components within larger food-service distributor contracts tagged to broader UNSPSC families rather than this specific commodity code.
