UNSPSC 50622904: Non GMO green curled chicory purees

The variety of Non GMO chicory known as Non GMO green curled ruffee chicory. 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 50622904 Non GMO green curled chicory purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source records show no solicitations matching this specific product line. State and local food service solicitations — school districts, corrections departments, health and human services facilities, and veterans homes — are procuring canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, and proteins in substantial volume, but none reference chicory purees or comparable specialty vegetable products. The recent opportunities span Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri, covering school nutrition programs, state hospitals, corrections facilities, and supported living centers, yet the procurement focus remains on commodity staples and established food service categories rather than specialty processed vegetable products.

The absence of activity under this code reflects the practical orientation of state and local food service procurement: volume purchases of shelf-stable and fresh items that meet USDA grades, Child Nutrition Program compliance, and Buy American requirements dominate solicitations in the $1.5 million to $9 million annual range. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor school district cooperative purchasing vehicles and state health and human services food service contracts for any shift toward specialty or specialty-processed vegetable ingredients, but current market signals do not support near-term pursuit activity. The code remains inactive in the accessible recent-opportunities record.
