UNSPSC 50623504: Non GMO chioggia endive purees

The variety of Non GMO endives known as Non GMO chioggia endives. 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 50623504 Non GMO chioggia endive purees is a Commodity code that covers specialty produce items, though state and local governments show virtually no recent procurement activity under this code's specific designation. The nominal scope of non-GMO endive purees does not align with the actual food acquisitions state and local bodies are soliciting. Recent opportunities tagged under this code or its parent families involve broad-based institutional food service — proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, condiments, canned and fresh produce, and consumable supplies — purchased by state agencies, county departments, school districts, and correctional facilities to support cafeterias, canteens, and food service operations. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, departments of corrections, county school nutrition programs, county senior services departments, and municipal school districts across multiple states.

The geographic spread covers Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois based on recent postings. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears most frequently, with multiple IFBs for state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026; HHS0017872 due August 25, 2026; and HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026). Georgia school districts — Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (bid due June 5, 2026 with opening June 8, 2026) — solicited comprehensive food procurements spanning hundreds of line items with USDA compliance and Buy American Act requirements. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with 5% preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026). The code shows little activity specific to non-GMO endive purees; most purchases are commodity food staples and prepared items delivered on F.O.B. Destination terms with delivery windows of 7 to 72 hours and compliance requirements including E-Verify, debarment certification, and HACCP plans for school and correctional food service.
