UNSPSC 50622707: Non GMO giant white celery purees

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO giant white 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 50622707 Non GMO giant white celery purees is a Commodity code, but recent state and local contract opportunities show little direct procurement activity under this specific code designation. The recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting non-GMO giant white celery purees. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code represent broader food-service procurement — fresh and frozen produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and consumable kitchen supplies procured by state agencies, county systems, school districts, and correctional facilities to supply cafeterias, canteens, supported living centers, and food-service operations. The opportunities demonstrate that state and local buyers source food items through IFB, RFQ, and sealed-bid mechanisms with firm, fixed unit pricing, FOB Destination delivery terms, and compliance requirements including USDA grade standards, shelf-life minimums, and sodium or nutritional content specifications. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County (Georgia), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), and individual state nutrition programs.

The geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent activity in the opportunities block. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's consumables procurement for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026), which encompasses 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with annual case quantities ranging from 1 to 24; Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and pasta (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive school nutrition bid encompassing fresh produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026). The code shows considerable procurement volume in institutional food service but does not reflect specific demand for the non-GMO giant white celery purees product line named in the code definition.
