UNSPSC 50622709: Non GMO greensleeves celery purees

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO greensleeves 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 50622709 Non GMO greensleeves celery purees (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally addresses a specific produce puree product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it encompass broad consumable food procurement — prepared foods, shelf-stable staples, canned goods, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and food service supplies — for institutional canteens, cafeterias, schools, and state facilities. No recent solicitation specifically names celery purees or non-GMO produce purees as a line item or scope element. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, state correctional systems, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state departments of corrections across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. The procurement vehicles used are IFB (Invitation for Bid) and informal written quotes (IWQ), with response dates typically seven to fourteen days from posting.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (posted October 16, 2026; due October 23, 2026), which solicits 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies on a firm, fixed unit-rate basis with seven-day delivery required; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (posted October 13, 2026; due October 19, 2026) for the Department of Community Services; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (response due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21). The Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026; due June 19, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food products (posted May 19, 2026; due June 15, 2026) further illustrate the institutional food-supply focus. Institutional food procurement under this code emphasizes USDA compliance, shelf-life and labeling standards, F.O.B. Destination delivery within three to seven days, firm fixed pricing with limited escalation, and vendor references and compliance certifications. The code does not currently track meaningful activity specific to celery purees or other specialized produce purees marketed as non-GMO products.
