UNSPSC 50622711: Non GMO ivory tower celery purees

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO ivory tower 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 50622711 Non GMO ivory tower celery purees, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains 20 food-service solicitations—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health and human services systems, and veterans homes—but none of them specifically solicit celery purees, GMO or non-GMO, ivory tower or otherwise. The opportunities cover fresh produce, canned tomatoes, fresh eggs, generic grocery items, and prepared entrees, but do not name celery purees as a line item or procurement category. The code's nominal scope and the actual buying activity reflected in recent state and local RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs do not align.

If the code is intended to map to broader fresh-produce or vegetable-supply activity, the recent opportunities do show active procurement among school districts, state corrections departments, state health agencies, and other institutional food-service bodies across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. However, the code as tagged does not match the work being bought, and no summary can reasonably characterize purchasing patterns for a specific product that does not appear in any of the sourced solicitations.
