UNSPSC 50623601: Non GMO cantino fennel purees

The variety of Non GMO fennels known as Non GMO cantino fennel. 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 50623601, Non GMO cantino fennel purees, is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty food items and fresh produce for institutional food service operations, though the code shows little recent relevant activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly involve bulk purchases of shelf-stable and frozen food products for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services — dried goods, canned proteins, frozen prepared items, condiments, and consumable food-service supplies rather than fresh purees or specialty produce. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas, Georgia, Illinois), state correctional departments (Oregon, Texas), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County, Georgia; Burke County, Georgia), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears multiple times as a repeat buyer of bulk consumables for state-supported living centers and state hospitals.

Recent solicitations span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with annual usage from 1 to 24 cases per item; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) requesting quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables for senior services; the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) at $13.75 per case; and Burke County Public Schools sealed-bid solicitation for school nutrition food (posted May 11, 2026, due June 5, 2026) encompassing nearly 400 line items across fresh and prepared proteins, frozen vegetables, and dry goods. The code itself does not align closely with the recent procurement activity actually being transacted — no recent solicitations explicitly request non-GMO cantino fennel purees or similar fresh specialty produce lines.
