UNSPSC 50623102: Non GMO common chive purees

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO common 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 50623102 Non GMO common chive purees is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within food service procurement, yet the recent solicitations tagged to this code show virtually no actual demand for chive purees themselves. Instead, state and local governments buying under this code are procuring broad baskets of shelf-stable and prepared foods for institutional food service operations — including canned vegetables, proteins, dairy products, condiments, and fresh or frozen produce — supplied to state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services programs, and school nutrition operations. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, state correctional authorities, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and specialized state procurement divisions, with no single repeat buyer dominating the activity. The recent solicitations show that institutional food service buyers typically source dozens to hundreds of line items from single or limited-vendor contracts, emphasizing USDA compliance, specific grades and sodium limits, delivery to multiple locations within tight timeframes (frequently within 7 days of order), and F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight prepaid.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and food products at Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers (response dates August 25, 2026, and July 13, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller issued an IFB for cafeteria food products for the Department of Criminal Justice across five geographic regions (due May 4, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with bids due June 19, 2026, and the State of Georgia and Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners) have posted multiple food and grocery bids with response dates ranging from May through October 2026. The Illinois Department of Human Services posted a weekly food order solicitation (bids due June 26, 2026). The code's nominal scope—non-GMO chive purees—does not align with the actual solicitation activity, indicating either a tagging mismatch or negligible standalone demand for this specific commodity within state and local procurement.
