UNSPSC 50622807: Non GMO white king chard purees

The variety of Non GMO chard known as Non GMO white king 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 50622807 Non GMO white king chard purees, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh and processed vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, though recent activity under this specific code is limited. The source records show no direct solicitations explicitly tagged to this commodity code; instead, state and local buying appears concentrated in broader produce and food supply categories. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and state correctional facilities dominate the institutional food-service market, with Georgia school districts and Texas health agencies posting multiple opportunities in early 2026. Scope ranges from full-service food distribution contracts serving 25,000+ students to targeted produce and specialty-item procurements for state hospitals and correctional centers, with Buy American requirements and USDA compliance standards embedded in most solicitations.

Activity is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Oregon, reflecting regional concentration among school nutrition programs and state facility operations. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs posted January 21, 2026, with a due date of February 18, 2026, covering approximately 72 produce line items across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for one area; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, posted June 11, 2026, with responses due July 13, 2026, offering a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323) posted April 6, 2026, with bids due April 27, 2026, requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Most institutional food procurements run annual cycles tied to fiscal-year budgets (July 1 through June 30) with firm fixed pricing for the initial term and allowances for midterm adjustments tied to USDA indices or manufacturer price increases exceeding 5 percent thresholds. No incumbent vendor names or set-aside designations appear consistently across solicitations; evaluation typically centers on lowest responsive bid, compliance with nutritional and safety specifications, and demonstrated vendor performance history.
