UNSPSC 50623501: Non GMO brussels witloof endive purees

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO white eggplants. 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 50623501 Non GMO brussels witloof endive purees is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh and prepared produce items procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, though recent activity shows that state and local buyers tag diverse produce and shelf-stable food categories under this code rather than endive purees specifically. State health and human services agencies, school districts, and corrections departments are the primary issuing bodies, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Georgia and Oregon school nutrition programs appearing multiple times in recent solicitations. The scope of work actually being bought includes bulk fresh produce, canned vegetables, frozen specialty items, dairy products, proteins, and consumable food service supplies for state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school cafeterias. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017872 for consumables and food items at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due August 25, 2026), covering french fries, hashbrown patties, chicken wings, and food service supplies for fiscal year 2027; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and pasta (due October 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products across four school locations with hundreds of line items spanning fresh and frozen produce, meats, dairy, and condiments (due June 15, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional opportunities in Illinois. Texas dominates the market through repeated Health and Human Services Commission solicitations for supported living centers and state hospitals, with historical contract values reaching $1.5 million to $4.5 million annually. Georgia school districts (Gwinnett County, Burke County, and Ben Hill County Schools) have issued multiple food service bids within the past six months. Oregon corrections and school nutrition programs also post regularly under this code. The Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato procurement (IFB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) specified 7,616 cases with an incumbent reference price of $13.75 per case from the February 2026 award, and applied 5 percent preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. School districts typically require Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, liability insurance minima of $500,000 to $1,000,000, and weekly or regular delivery schedules. Institutional buyers favor firm, fixed pricing for initial contract periods with semi-annual or quarterly adjustment mechanisms tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data. Delivery requirements range from 30 days to seven days of order receipt, with F.O.B. Destination terms standard across all recent solicitations.
