UNSPSC 50623600: Non GMO fennel purees

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO fennels. 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 50623600 Non GMO fennel purees is a Class code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source includes eleven recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, spanning school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, and county community services. None of these solicitations specifically reference fennel purees, GMO or non-GMO; instead, the opportunities cluster around broad food and consumable procurement for institutional food service—institutional buyers are sourcing prepared foods (chicken wings, french fries, burritos), proteins (beef, chicken, fish), fresh and frozen produce, dairy products, canned vegetables and fruits, condiments, sauces, and food service supplies (containers, napkins, trays, straws).

The absence of fennel-puree-specific solicitations indicates that this commodity code does not reflect active procurement demand in the state and local market at this time. The recent activity demonstrates that institutional food service buyers—particularly Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts in Georgia, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Ben Hill County Schools—are issuing IFBs and IWQs for shelf-stable and prepared food products in bulk, with response windows typically between five and fourteen days and F.O.B. Destination delivery requirements. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas (four opportunities from HHSC and TDCJ) and Georgia (three school district solicitations plus Gwinnett County), with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. The code does not warrant active pursuit based on recent evidence.
