UNSPSC 50622712: Non GMO lathom self-blanching celery purees

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO lathom self-blanching 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 50622712 Non GMO lathom self-blanching celery purees (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with the code's narrow product scope. The code nominally targets a specific vegetable purée product, but the state and local procurement opportunities posted since late January 2026 do not include solicitations specifically for non-GMO celery purees or close equivalents. The fourteen recent state and local opportunities tagged under or near this code actually seek broad food service procurement — weekly food orders for state facilities, quarterly and annual grocery and produce contracts for school districts, supplemental food and consumables for health and human services facilities, and fresh produce and eggs for multi-district cooperative buying. None of these solicitations name celery purees, non-GMO or otherwise, as a line item or requirement.

The issuing bodies span state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), state-level purchasing on behalf of state agencies, school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Ben Hill County in Georgia, Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, Burke County in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Muscogee County in Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving multiple Georgia districts. The concentration of school nutrition procurement is pronounced, with the majority of opportunities sourcing food for child nutrition programs in Georgia and Missouri. Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Burke County, Douglas County), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Missouri (Rockwood), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) seeking 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for grocery supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The code does not appear to reflect actual procurement demand for the specific commodity it nominally describes.
