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 that state and local governments rarely procure in isolation; recent activity shows this code tagged to broad food-service opportunities, but none of the recent opportunities actually specify rhubarb chard purees. The code appears in procurement databases where it was likely auto-assigned to general food-service solicitations rather than matched to actual line-item need. Recent state and local buyers issuing under or near this code include school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County in Georgia, Fairfax County in Virginia, Burke County in Georgia, Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county and city agencies. The mix spans elementary through high schools, state hospitals and supported living centers, correctional facilities, and nutrition programs serving thousands of daily meals across multiple delivery sites.

Representative recent opportunities under or near this code include the State of Illinois issuing an RFQ for quarterly weekly food orders (June 26, 2026 response deadline), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for food and consumable products to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center (July 13, 2026 response deadline with historical value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period), and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia issuing an IFB for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (April 27, 2026 response deadline). Activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts, state procurement offices), Texas (HHS and correctional services), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), Missouri (school districts), and Virginia (county schools). Most school-district solicitations cover hundreds of food line items with firm fixed pricing, monthly or quarterly adjustments tied to USDA indices or Consumer Price Index, Buy American compliance, HACCP and food-safety certification requirements, and delivery to multiple school sites on weekly or daily schedules. None of the recent opportunities explicitly name rhubarb chard purees; the code appears misaligned with actual procurement activity.
