UNSPSC 50624005: Non GMO chervil purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO chervil. 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 50624005 Non GMO chervil purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of state and local food procurement activity actually appearing under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code — spanning Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state procurement, Georgia school districts, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice — solicit shelf-stable prepared foods, canned goods, frozen proteins, dairy products, condiments, and food service supplies for state facilities, county senior services centers, correctional institutions, and school nutrition programs. The code name references a specific fresh vegetable puree product, but the live solicitations show demand for bulk dried goods, canned vegetables and proteins, frozen specialty items, bread, dairy, and consumable supplies — commodity-level food-service procurement bearing no meaningful relationship to chervil or fresh purees. Issuing bodies include state health and corrections agencies, county purchasing offices, and school districts across multiple states, with no single repeat buyer dominating the activity.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (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 products including peanut butter, canned proteins, and rice (quotes due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, previous purchase at $13.75 per case); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for food products across fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, and condiments for four school locations (bids due June 15, 2026). The code shows substantial recent activity, but the work being procured — institutional food service staples and supplies — diverges significantly from the code's nominal scope of fresh non-GMO chervil purees.
