UNSPSC 50622806: Non GMO vulcan chard purees

The variety of Non GMO chard known as Non GMO vulcan 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 50622806 Non GMO vulcan chard purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in the recent state and local procurement record. State and local governments soliciting food products under related codes are buying institutional food service supplies — canned vegetables, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared foods — for school districts, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and veterans homes. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county and municipal school systems, and regional purchasing cooperatives. Recent opportunities show diverse food procurement across institutional food service, with school nutrition programs representing a substantial concentration of activity. The scope spans brand-specific or equal sourcing, firm fixed pricing with periodic price adjustments tied to commodity indices or CPI, strict compliance with USDA grades and food safety standards including HACCP, Buy American requirements for domestic agricultural content, and weekly or scheduled deliveries to multiple school and facility locations.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts appearing most frequently in the record. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school food products across four school locations (due June 15, 2026, with Buy American requirements and HACCP compliance mandated); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026, with USDA Grade B or better specifications and a historical reference price of $13.75 per case); Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026, with Buy American and Child Nutrition Label requirements); and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution to 32 schools serving 25,500 students (approximately $9 million annually, due February 18, 2026). No recent opportunities specifically match the nominal scope of non-GMO vulcan chard purees; the code shows little relevant activity in the available record.
