UNSPSC 50622805: Non GMO swiss chard purees

The variety of Non GMO chard known as Non GMO swiss 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 50622805 Non GMO swiss chard purees is a Commodity-tier code that sees minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring specialized produce purees for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for Non GMO swiss chard purees. Instead, the code appears to be a misapplication or low-volume category within broader food procurement activity. The issuing bodies soliciting food products in the recent opportunities block span state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), and specialized state facilities (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). School districts dominate the mix, with multiple districts conducting concurrent annual food procurement cycles for nutrition programs. None of the opportunities in the block specifically reference Non GMO swiss chard purees or other vegetable purees; instead they solicit broad food supply categories spanning fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, proteins, grains, and consumable supplies.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest—Georgia, Texas, and Oregon appear repeatedly in the recent opportunities—with additional activity in Illinois and Missouri. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two separate statewide food solicitations (HHS0017449 and HHS0016792) covering supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers, with the latter carrying a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. School nutrition programs in Georgia (Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County) have posted multiple RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce and comprehensive food supply in early 2026, typically covering July 2026 through June 2027 contract periods. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two canned-vegetable ITBs (for canned tomatoes and tomato paste) with responses due in February and March 2026. The code itself shows no recent activity that maps directly to Non GMO swiss chard purees; business development professionals should treat this category as dormant or highly specialized and focus instead on the broader institutional food-supply opportunities that dominate state and local procurement activity under related food and produce codes.
