UNSPSC 50622802: Non GMO lucullus chard purees

The variety of Non GMO chard known as Non GMO lucullus 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 50622802 Non GMO lucullus chard purees is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity with minimal recent relevance to the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve general food procurement for state institutions, school districts, and correctional facilities—encompassing canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, grocery staples, and cafeteria food products—rather than non-GMO chard purees specifically. The mismatch between the code label and the actual work being solicited suggests either a broad application of the code to general produce and food items within state procurement systems or a classification error in how jurisdictions have tagged these opportunities.

State and local issuers using this code include the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Georgia Department of Education (multiple school districts including Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and the Douglas County School System in Georgia. Recent opportunities span IFBs, RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs posted from January through June 2026, with response dates clustered in February through July 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (seven school district procurements), Texas (two HHSC procurements for state hospitals and supported living centers), Oregon (two Department of Corrections canned goods procurements), Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent work includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 (approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (comprehensive food bid with over 400 line items across fresh, frozen, and staple categories, due June 15, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (Master Grocery K-12 for 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026). No solicitations explicitly sought non-GMO chard purees; the code does not currently reflect targeted procurement activity in that product line.
