UNSPSC 50622801: Non GMO fordhook giant chard purees

The variety of Non GMO chard known as Non GMO fordhook giant chard. 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 50622801 Non GMO fordhook giant chard purees is a Commodity code with limited recent state and local solicitation activity. Recent opportunities show no direct procurement of this specific product; instead, state and local jurisdictions are soliciting broad food and consumable product categories that span produce, prepared foods, dairy, proteins, and supplies under multi-line-item or open-ended scopes. The Illinois Veterans Home and Texas Health and Human Services Commission have posted requests for quarterly or annual food orders that would theoretically encompass this commodity alongside hundreds of other items, but none of the posted opportunities explicitly reference chard purees, fordhook or otherwise, or GMO status as a product requirement.

School districts and state facility nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix across the source opportunities, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities statewide. Activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with additional procurement in Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (April 27, 2026 response date) covering over 200 line items for weekly delivery to 45 schools, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB for state hospitals and supported living centers (March 19, 2026 response date, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) requiring response to 210 line items. No recent opportunities explicitly target this specific produce item or signal demand for it as a line-item purchase, suggesting limited market activity or bundling under broader multi-commodity contracts.
