UNSPSC 50623602: Non GMO fino fennel purees

The type of Non GMO fennel known as Non GMO fino 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 50623602 Non GMO fino fennel purees is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable and specialty food products for institutional food service, but the recent state and local activity under this code shows minimal procurement focused on fennel purees specifically. The source reflects a broader pattern: state agencies, county governments, school districts, and special-purpose institutional operators (such as state supported living centers and correctional facilities) solicit food and consumable products under this taxonomy, but the actual line items acquired span prepared and fresh proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy, condiments, grains, and general dry goods rather than fennel purees as a distinct item. The issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which has posted multiple solicitations for state supported living centers), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These entities typically bundle food procurement across dozens or hundreds of line items, with award structures allowing single or multiple vendors and pricing evaluated on per-unit or extended-price bases.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, posted October 16, 2026, with bids due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items, posted October 13, 2026, with quotes due October 19, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, posted June 5, 2026, with bids due June 19, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, posted June 11, 2026, noted a prior-period value of $1.5 million and covered NIGP food service categories. Ben Hill County Schools issued an IFB for school food products across multiple categories, posted May 19, 2026, with bids due June 15, 2026. These solicitations require F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight included, submission of references and company qualifications, compliance with E-Verify and debarment certifications, and delivery within seven to thirty days of order receipt. The code shows no recent state and local opportunities explicitly requiring non-GMO fino fennel purees; suppliers pursuing this commodity under institutional food service procurement should expect competition on broader food supply contracts with fennel purees as one of many line items, if included at all.
