UNSPSC 50622907: Non GMO salad king chicory purees

The variety of Non GMO chicory known as Non GMO salad king 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 50622907 Non GMO salad king chicory purees is a Commodity code that in theory classifies specialty vegetable purees, but recent state and local solicitations show little procurement activity directly matching this narrow specification. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit shelf-stable food products for institutional food service — including canned and frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, and disposable food service supplies — rather than chicory-based or non-GMO specialty purees. State and local buyers issuing under this code span health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers, county and municipal school nutrition programs, state corrections departments, and county departments of community services. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears most frequently, with multiple IFBs for consumable foods supporting state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and the Oregon Department of Corrections also solicit food products under related taxonomy, though those opportunities emphasize broader grocery procurement rather than specialty purees.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, October 23, 2026 response deadline) for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with annual usage ranging from 1 to 24 cases per item; and the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomatoes procurement (S2910000017145, June 19, 2026 deadline) for approximately 7,616 cases with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent each. Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006, June 15, 2026 deadline) spans fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable products across multiple school locations under Buy American requirements. The code shows no recent state or local procurement activity specifically requesting chicory purees or non-GMO specialty vegetable products; the taxonomy mismatch suggests this commodity code sees minimal or misclassified activity in current state and local procurement.
