UNSPSC 50622910: Non GMO tres fine maraichere chicory purees

The variety of Non GMO chicory known as Non GMO tres fine maraichere 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 50622910 Non GMO tres fine maraichere chicory purees is a Commodity code that in practice frames procurements for bulk shelf-stable and prepared food items serving institutional food service operations — specifically canteen supplies, kitchen consumables, and ingredients for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and health and human services campuses. Recent state and local solicitations under this code and closely related food-service categories reveal that buying entities are acquiring prepared foods (french fries, hashbrown patties, chicken wings, tortillas, specialty entrees), fresh and frozen proteins and produce, canned vegetables and fruits, dairy products, condiments and sauces, baking supplies, and associated food service consumables (containers, napkins, trays, straws, foil, gloves). Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, departments of corrections, school districts, and county boards of commissioners. The mix skews toward recurring institutional bulk food procurement rather than specialty ingredients; the nominal code name (chicory purees) does not align closely with the scope of recently solicited work, which centers on mainstream food-service staples and prepared items for congregate feeding.

The code shows active recent procurement across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and food products serving state-supported living centers (Lufkin and El Paso facilities), with response dates in June through October 2026 and estimated annual values ranging into the millions. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) solicited shelf-stable food items under an informal written quote in October 2026 (due October 19). Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) each posted school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for canned tomatoes in June 2026, and Illinois solicited quarterly weekly food orders in June 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division) issued a large IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations with response due May 4, 2026. These procurements typically run on annual cycles with renewal options, require F.O.B. Destination delivery with freight prepaid, demand compliance with USDA standards and food safety certifications (HACCP, E-Verify), and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value. Response timeframes cluster tightly (5–10 business days from posting to due date), and pre-bid or question-submission deadlines often precede the main bid deadline by one week.
