UNSPSC 50624007: Non GMO cipolino purees

The variety of Non GMO herbs known as Non GMO cipolinos. 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 50624007 Non GMO cipolino purees, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities block shows school districts, state corrections departments, state health agencies, and state veterans homes soliciting canned and fresh produce, proteins, dairy products, and comprehensive food service supplies—categories ranging from tomato paste and canned tomatoes to fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and prepared entrees. None of the recent solicitations name or specify cipolino purees or any non-GMO puree product line; the code appears to have been applied to food service procurements that do not match its nominal scope.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food service contracts span school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia), and state veteran facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for a state supported living center (response due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, response due June 19, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools plus distribution centers (response due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (response due March 4, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated product definition and warrants review for potential reclassification or code misapplication in state procurement databases.
