UNSPSC 50624004: Non GMO caraway purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO caraway. 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 50624004 Non GMO caraway purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure food and consumable products under this code, though recent solicitations show minimal activity specifically for non-GMO caraway purees. The code's activity reflects broader food service procurement by state agencies, county governments, and school districts supplying institutional cafeterias, canteens, and food service operations. Recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass fresh produce, frozen and prepared foods, dairy products, condiments, sauces, and food service supplies—items procured in bulk for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services programs, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), state departments of corrections (Oregon DOC), and state departments of criminal justice (Texas TDCJ). These jurisdictions conduct recurring annual or multi-year food procurements, often with renewal options extending two to three years.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with solicitations spanning May through October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), covering 210 line items with a three-year potential value of up to $4.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) at $13.75 per case from the prior February 2026 award; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools' food bid for multiple school locations (due June 15, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution points (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21). Most solicitations are IFBs or informal written quotes with firm, fixed unit pricing, FOB Destination delivery, and response windows of one to three weeks. Non-GMO caraway purees do not appear in the detailed line-item specifications provided; the code assignment appears misaligned with the actual scope of recent opportunities, which focus on mainstream commodity foods and supplies rather than specialty or premium botanical products.
