UNSPSC 50622908: Non GMO sanda chicory purees

The variety of Non GMO chicory known as Non GMO sanda 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 50622908 Non GMO sanda chicory purees (Commodity) shows minimal activity in state and local procurement, with the recent opportunity block containing no solicitations targeting this specific product. The single opportunity posted under this code—the State of Illinois weekly food order for the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy—covers generic food supply (bacon, cheese, pizza crusts, rolls, vegetables, and condiments) with no reference to chicory purees or specialty vegetable components in the available scope descriptions. State and local food procurement activity documented in the recent sample spans school districts, corrections departments, health and human services facilities, and veterans homes across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, but the product categories consistently solicited are mainstream food staples: proteins, dairy, produce, canned goods, and prepared foods for institutional meal service, not specialty ingredient items such as non-GMO chicory purees.

The code does not reflect meaningful recent procurement demand. The Illinois IVHQ quarterly food order (RFQ, due February 24, 2026) and subsequent FY-27 quarterly food order (RFQ, due June 26, 2026) are the only records tagged to this commodity code in the recent opportunities block, and neither solicitation explicitly names chicory purees or specialty vegetable ingredients. State and local food procurement at scale—exemplified by school district grocery bids spanning 400+ line items (Rockwood, Fairfax County, Burke County, Liberty County), corrections department canned goods orders, and health and human services facility food supply contracts—does not surface this category as a standard line item. If chicory purees are being procured at the state and local level, they are tagged differently or embedded within broader commodity or specialty ingredient categories not currently visible in active solicitations.
