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. State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent transaction volume; the opportunities that cite the code involve miscellaneous shelf-stable foods, prepared items, and food service supplies for institutional feeding operations, not chard purees specifically. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for consumable foods and food products to support state-supported living centers and other facilities, the Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned tomatoes and potato varieties, and school districts and county agencies across Georgia, Illinois, and Texas have bid out comprehensive food procurement packages for cafeteria and nutrition programs—but none of these recent solicitations isolates chard purees or non-GMO vegetable purees as a distinct line item. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, state corrections agencies, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and county schools, typically combining food solicitations into broad line-item packages where individual commodity specifications are subsumed into larger consumables contracts.

The geographic center of recent activity lies in Texas (HHS Commission, TDCJ, school districts), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, State of Georgia), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with isolated activity in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), which encompasses food under broad NIGP classes but does not itemize chard purees; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' food bid covering fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared items across multiple schools (due June 15, 2026). These solicitations show institutional food procurement is active and ongoing, but the code's nominal scope—non-GMO lucullus chard purees—does not map to documented recent demand. Vendors targeting this code should verify that individual state and local procurement offices are sourcing chard purees as standalone or line-item requisitions before committing business development resources.
