UNSPSC 50624006: Non GMO cilantro purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO cilantro. 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 50624006 Non GMO cilantro purees is a Commodity code that represents specialty produce purees procured sporadically by state and local nutrition programs and food service operations. However, the recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations for cilantro purees specifically. Instead, the code appears misaligned with the actual procurement activity in the source data, which reflects broad food and consumable purchases by school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities across produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods rather than specialty puree products.

The recent opportunities spanning January through July 2026 focus predominantly on school nutrition programs and state institutional food service, with soliciting bodies including state departments of corrections (Oregon), state health agencies (Texas), school districts (Fairfax County Virginia; Ben Hill County Georgia; Burke County Georgia; Liberty County Georgia; Muscogee County Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Georgia; Rockwood R-VI Missouri; Douglas County Georgia), and state veteran facilities (Illinois). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with representative opportunities including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato procurement S2910000016089 (due February 9, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases), and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). None of these solicitations reference non-GMO cilantro purees, indicating the code does not reflect current state and local procurement practice in the available data.
