UNSPSC 50622714: Non GMO standard bearer celery purees

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO standard bearer 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 50622714 Non GMO standard bearer celery purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of celery purees at all. The nine most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 span consumable foods for state institutions, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities — including fresh and frozen proteins, produce, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and food service supplies — but none identify celery purees, non-GMO certification requirements, or bearer standards as line items or scope drivers. The issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state supported living centers), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the Oregon Department of Corrections, state education authorities in Georgia and Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in the state and local procurement systems; no decision-relevant activity under the nominal commodity scope is present in the data.

The geographic spread of posted opportunities runs across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Texas dominating (five of nine posted solicitations). Representative recent procurements include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and sauces (due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026, with prior purchase at $13.75 per case). Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for celery purees and verify the correct commodity code before committing resources to pursuit.
