UNSPSC 50623507: Non GMO palla rossa zorzi precoce endive purees

The variety of Non GMO endives known as Non GMO palla rossa zorzi precoce 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 50623507 Non GMO palla rossa zorzi precoce endive purees (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not feature endive purees or specialty vegetable products; instead, they reflect broad consumable food procurement for institutional food service—specifically prepared foods, shelf-stable pantry items, and fresh and frozen produce for state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, county senior services, corrections departments, and health-related facilities. The issuing bodies are state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools), and school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools)—all pursuing multi-category food supply contracts rather than specialty produce lines.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental and consumable food products for state-supported living centers and state hospitals, including HHS0016792V2 (210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated foods; March 19, 2026 deadline; up to $4.5 million over three years), HHS0017872 (20 line items including prepared foods and supplies for Lufkin State Supported Living Center; August 25, 2026 deadline), and HHS0017449 (food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center; July 13, 2026 deadline; prior-year value $1.5 million). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller of Public Accounts posted IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (extended deadline May 4, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (IFB S2910000017145; June 19, 2026 deadline; prior purchase $13.75 per case). School districts in Georgia—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271; June 15, 2026 deadline) and Burke County Public Schools (bids due June 5, 2026)—requested sealed bids on comprehensive grocery procurements including fresh and prepared proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy, and canned items. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for community services (IWQ 140229; October 19, 2026 deadline). The code shows no evidence of vendors actually supplying specialty endive purees or non-GMO varietal produce to state and local buyers under current procurement activity.
