UNSPSC 50622804: Non GMO rhubarb chard purees

The variety of Non GMO chard known as Non GMO rhubarb 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 50622804 Non GMO rhubarb chard purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually purchasing shelf-stable and refrigerated food products for institutional food service — primarily canned vegetables, frozen proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and consumable food-service supplies for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations. Recent solicitations show no demand specifically for non-GMO rhubarb chard purees; instead, the code captures a much broader institutional procurement market that includes canned tomatoes, frozen prepared foods, dried goods, and single-use food-service supplies. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Illinois), state correctional agencies (Texas TDCJ, Oregon DOC), county and city school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and senior services programs. Texas agencies appear as repeat solicitors, with HHSC issuing multiple IFBs and ITBs for state supported living centers and state hospitals.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026, for consumable foods (prepared items and food-service supplies) for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division requesting approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better) on June 5, 2026, with bids due June 19, 2026; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia posting a comprehensive food bid on May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026, covering fresh produce, meat, dairy, and supplies across four schools; and the Texas Comptroller's office on behalf of TDCJ issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five warehouse locations, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. The code shows active state and local procurement but limited to no recent solicitation demand specifically aligned with the nominal commodity scope (non-GMO rhubarb chard purees).
