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 is a Class code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses broader shelf-stable and prepared food procurement for institutional food service operations rather than chive purees specifically. State and local governments are actually buying multi-category food supply contracts that include proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, condiments, sauces, and food service consumables (containers, napkins, hairnets, straws) for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The issuing-body mix spans state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), state correction agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections), county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). Texas dominates the recent activity, with solicitations from HHSC for the Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers and from the Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ; Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois also show recent activity.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (prepared items, sauces, and food service supplies) at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with a response deadline of October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces with a response deadline of October 19, 2026; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (proteins, specialty entrees, dairy, grains, produce, condiments) across five TDCJ warehouse locations with a response deadline of May 4, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 with a prior purchase price of $13.75 per case, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB for comprehensive school nutrition supplies with a response deadline of June 15, 2026. Contract values where disclosed range from historical guidance of $1.5 million annually (El Paso State Supported Living Center) to a potential three-year maximum of $4.5 million for statewide HHSC supplemental food procurement. All solicitations require FOB Destination delivery with freight included, firm pricing on a per-unit basis, and compliance with FDA and USDA standards.
