UNSPSC 50623512: Non GMO sugarhat endive purees

The variety of Non GMO endives known as Non GMO sugarhat 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 50623512 Non GMO sugarhat endive purees is a Commodity code that in practice does not see material recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—non-GMO sugarbeet endive purees—bears no relation to the food products actually being solicited under it in recent postings. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead cover broad food-service consumables: shelf-stable groceries (canned vegetables, proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups), fresh and frozen produce, dairy products, meat and seafood, bread, prepared entrees, and food-service supplies such as containers, napkins, straws, and hairnets. These are general institutional food-service procurements, not specialized produce purees. The issuing bodies are state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state-supported living centers managed by state health systems.

The geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois based on recent postings from June through October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumable foods, due October 23, 2026), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items, due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for school nutrition food products across multiple categories with delivery to four school locations (due June 15, 2026). The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either a data-classification error in state and local systems or that the code has been repurposed to cover general food-service consumables rather than specialty produce items. Pursuing work under this code requires confirming with issuing bodies that they will tag opportunities correctly going forward.
