UNSPSC 50623101: Non GMO chinese chive purees

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO chinese 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 50623101 Non GMO chinese chive purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a far broader scope: institutional food service procurement encompasses prepared and frozen proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, grains, condiments, fresh produce, and related consumable supplies for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school cafeterias, and senior services programs. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, county governments, and school districts. Work solicited under this code ranges from modest single-facility canteen and food-service supply needs (Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurements for individual state-supported living centers) to statewide multi-location food distribution contracts serving correctional facility warehouse networks, state hospital systems, and multi-school nutrition programs. Contracts typically run one to two years with renewal or extension options, include firm fixed pricing with limited adjustment provisions tied to inflation indices or manufacturer cost changes, and require vendors to meet USDA grade standards, FDA compliance, specific shelf-life and temperature requirements, and delivery timelines of seven days or less from order receipt. Most solicitations are issued as Invitations for Bid (IFB) and include detailed line-item pricing sheets, minimum reference requirements, insurance and debarment certifications, and compliance with state-specific regulations including E-Verify employment verification and cybersecurity training attestations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with additional solicitations from Oregon and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for state-supported living centers and statewide food systems—notably IFB HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 11, 2026, prior period valued at $1.5 million) and supplemental food IFB HHS0016792V2 (210 line items statewide, potential three-year value of $4.5 million, due March 19, 2026). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bid due June 5, 2026)—are procuring comprehensive annual food service across multiple schools under Buy American requirements. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a prior-purchase reference price of $13.75 per case (due June 19, 2026). The Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a large multi-location IFB (304T-26-300CF) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (extended due date May 4, 2026). The code shows no recent activity aligned with its nominal Non GMO chinese chive purees scope—opportunities reflect standard institutional food service competitive bidding rather than specialized produce procurement.
