UNSPSC 50623100: Non GMO chive purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO chives. 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 50623100 Non GMO chive purees, a Class code, covers specialty food ingredients and prepared vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations. However, the recent state and local solicitation record shows no activity under this specific code; instead, the opportunities tagged with this code reflect broad food service procurement spanning canned goods, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees rather than chive purees or related specialty vegetable ingredients. The code nominally describes a narrow commodity—non-GMO chive purees—yet purchasing activity across the sample focuses on high-volume institutional food supply contracts for schools, corrections facilities, hospitals, and state agency operations.

School districts and state corrections and health agencies drive the majority of recent activity. Douglas County School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Oregon Department of Corrections issued the bulk of the procurement notices, along with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), and Muscogee County School District (Georgia). Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia school districts, with additional activity in Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 (response due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior contract value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000016405 (response due April 6, 2026) for canned tomato products; Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 (response due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery to 45 schools; and Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (response due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. The code shows persistent, substantial procurement activity driven by recurring institutional meal-service needs, though the narrow specialty ingredient scope does not align with the broad commodity purchasing observed in current RFPs and IFBs.
